Middle School Moments
Grade 6 saw Rally Caps, a film featured in the ReelAbilities Film Festival. The film is about a young baseball player whose dreams of pitching for a Little League travel team are derailed by a devastating injury on the field. At the end of the film, the 6th graders were able to participate in a Q&A with film festival founder and director Isaac Zablocki and the director of the movie Lee Cipolla. They had many insightful questions about the writing, casting, and filming process, as well as the experience of working with actors with disabilities.
Grade 8 students completed and presented their science research projects to an audience of peers and parents. Over the past several months the students have been designing and implementing experiments, analyzing data, and presenting their projects.
It was a GR8 day for Grade 8! A cookie baking contest and a trip to Wollman Rink was just what the doctor ordered!
Heschel's Middle School put on four incredible performances of the "The Wizard of Oz"!
