Schechter learning doesn’t just end in the classroom. Students of all ages have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in places and situations sometimes far from our campus! This week, we focus on a few of the places that students are making connections between the classroom and the world around them: for 7th graders in Washington, DC, for 6th graders delving into immigration in New York, and for Early Childhood students mesmerized by massive paintings and sculptures at the New Britain Museum of American Art.

We are so proud of Schechter graduate Eitan Ehrlich (2016), whose documentary Live. Ride. Cure. will be screened at the Schechter auditorium on May 29th… learn more about it in this issue! Meanwhile, the gears keep turning for current Schechter students: Anafim students (gr. 1-2) learn about the scientific method and test out their own hypotheses with great success, Schechter observed the end of Passover with a delicious and festive Mimouna celebration, and 8th graders share highlights from their trip to Israel! In case you missed it, we’ve got a link to photos of the event that every 8th grader anticipates: the 8th grade vs. faculty basketball game!
