The stars were out last night for the opening of Legally Blonde. A packed house welcomed the cast led by Mia Franki as Elle Woods. The number here featured the cast belting out the opening of the show. The hard work of the cast, crew and parents who really paid off. The musical was helped out this year by the new sound system allowing everyone to enjoy the show from the first row to the back of the room. Big congratulations to the cast last night. There is still time to see the show. Mia and the cast reprise their roles today at 2. Starting tonight at 7 and tomorrow at 2 Julia McLoughlin will take the lead with a second cast. We will see you there!

The second term club hours kicked off this week with Mrs. Stella's brand new club for K-2. Crazy 8's brings math alive for students. This week, students learned about geometric shapes by constructing them with glow sticks. The results were illuminating. Every week of crazy 8's math club will feature new activities for students to enjoy the world of math in an interactive and fun environment. Thank you to Mrs. Stella for taking the lead on this new club and to Mrs. Mathis for bringing this program to our attention.
Mrs. Parchment took the 5th grade through to the third dimension as they explored the process of drawing optical illusions. These mind bending drawings tested the skills of the students as they drew 3D images on a 2D plain. The eyes can deceive but the results were real. Amazing work was done by all. Stop by the third floor art room on your next visit to check out these eye popping images.

It's decision time for junior high school. One metric of a school's success is the results their students receive on the NYS tests administered each year. As fifth grade parents begin to look at junior high schools for their children we would just like to highlight our results. Once again we have among the highest passing results for any school in Brooklyn. In fact, we had the 13th best scores of any non- public school in the state in our 8th grade math results and 15th best in our 6th grade ELA. With the addition of our STEM lab and ELA learning lounge, St. Ephrem is the place to be for your junior high school students.
