Sometimes, when sizes or times are so massive, like with the concept of "Deep Time" or millions vs. billions, it helps to shrink them down to something as mundane as a roll of toilet paper. Learn how Middle School students make these abstract concepts more concrete. After school yoga helps students practice poses, but did you know it also helps with mindfulness, self-awareness, and regulation! And the joyous ways Schechter celebrated Purim are part of what makes Schechter such a special place! Read all about the Schechter difference.

Creativity can come in many forms: tapping out patterns using rhythm sticks and hearing that same rhythm repeated by friends, designing a maze that reflects light bouncing off of a variety of surfaces to reach the finish line, or coaxing a bunch of separate ingredients into a beautiful braided loaf of challah. At Schechter, we nurture creativity in all of its forms because each person learns best in a variety of ways! Our Ner Tamid fundraiser, held on Sunday, successfully raised funds to support Schechter students and teachers, and helped to ensure an accessible Schechter education to every family who wants one, regardless of financial ability. Check it out in this week’s Schechter Shavua!
