On Thursday, June 8, 12 Eighth Graders accompanied by Mrs. Gitti Horowitz and Mrs. Rochelle Goldberg went on a "Sensitivity Inclusive" trip to the LAB School in Maryland. The Baltimore Lab School provides an exceptional, college-preparatory education for students in grades 1-12 with learning disabilities. This trip was arranged by Mrs. Yael Zelinger of the CJE.

Upon arriving at the old, historic building in downtown Baltimore, the girls were led into a room where they met Mrs. Zelinger and 15 female LAB students and their teachers. The Bais Yaakov and LAB students worked collaboratively on a place mat that would later be laminated and presented to a nursing home facility.   All the girls got along beautifully, as if they had known each other for years.

Mrs. Horowitz and Mrs. Goldberg were extremely proud of the Bais Yaakov girls' extreme sensitivity and openness. Indeed, Bais Yaakov can be proud of the caliber of our students.

Again, we thank Mrs. Zelinger for affording our girls with this very important experience and look forward to including more of these activities in the new school year 2017-18.
