Mrs. Caspe and Mrs. Frankel joined their 6th grade classes in tours of the Artifact Exhibit at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Battery Park.

Our 6th graders are about to begin work on their own Museum, Our Living Heritage. All 6th graders will be bringing in their own artifacts for display at our gallery opening in January.
