Reminder: Topsy Turvy Day Tomorrow!

As we gear up for Rosh Chodesh Adar II & Purim, send your child to school
dressed in a "Topsy Turvy" way tomorrow, Friday, February 28, 2014.

Some ideas include: wearing backwards clothing, pajamas, a silly hat
or mismatched items. Let your children show their creativity!

**Elementary and Junior High Grades**
-Girls must wear knee length skirts over "topsy turvy" outfits and shirts with appropriate neckline and sleeve length. Boys may not wear
shorts or sleeveless shirts & should wear kippot & tzizit.

Discovery Learning Day Dedication

How many people does it take to keep a huge secret from our very own Mr. Fischman?? In our case it took over 450!!

Today's Discovery Learning Day, our 8th in BPY history, was dedicated in honor of Mr. Stanley Fischman. His brainchild, the interconnecting of science, technology,

engineering and math has inspired our students over the last few years. These special programs have given our students a unique opportunity to experience, understand, and get excited about the world around them.

As this is his last Discovery Learning Day at Ben Porat Yosef, we thought it befitting to dedicate it in his honor. After being surprised this morning at the "Storming of the Castle", Mr. Fischman was presented with a beautiful scrapbook that included colleagues, students and parents testifying to the effect that the Discovery Learning Days have had on them.

A huge thank you to Morah Stephanie Goldberg and Morah Jean Myers for organizing today's dedication and the innovative program on catapults. A special thanks to all the families and individuals who participated in the dedication.
