EARLY CHILDHOOD
LOWER SCHOOL

MIDDLE SCHOOL 


Eighth graders visited the Mendel Balk Yachad Center and had an amazing time with Yachad participants, enjoying cake wars and basketball before enjoying a pizza dinner together with all their friends. It was a great night full of inclusion and fun.
Thank you NJ Yachad for having us!  


HIGH SCHOOL

It was senior night for girl's sports this week at RKYHS as both the girls varsity hockey and girls varsity soccer teams honored their seniors at their playoff games.  The soccer team triumphed over Ramaz with an 8-2 win and the hockey team continued their undefeated season with a 7-0 win over Central!


Battle of the Bands was a wildly successful evening with our students working for months planning and coordinating all of the many details of the event that was attended by several hundred students from Jewish Day Schools throughout NJ and NY.  The committee worked hard to fundraise and the event committee raised a total of $4745 for Save a Child's Heart!  You can view links of amazing video performances of the two bands that featured RKYHS students that showcase the breadth of their talents:
