Banner week for Rambam

In the wake of Rambam Mesivta once again being reaccredited as a Middle States School of Excellence and the news that Rambam is a Finalist for the Department of Education’s prestigious Blue Ribbon Award, its teams put accolades into action.

The Rambam Mock Trial team defeated JFK High School in what is hopefully the start of another successful campaign. The Nassau County Mock Trial Tournament includes 44 schools and is one of the most competitive academic competitions.

Over the last three years, under the leadership of Professor Joanne Stevens, the team has finished in the elite eight once and has had two final four appearances.

The Rambam College Bowl teams, both JV and Varsity, were also victorious, going a combined 5-1 at last week’s meet.

Rambam’s JV Hockey team finished its season going 10-0 on the year. With newly engaged Coach Avi Herschman, Rambam ‘09 at the helm, the team hopes to make it back to the championships for the second year in a row.  

Meanwhile, the Rambam Mesivta Writers’ Guild continues to grow.  A group of students, dedicated to the craft of writing and appreciating literature, met with Assistant Principal and English teacher Hillel Goldman, in a small setting, and reviewed their stories.

Different realms, Law, Trivia, Writing, Hockey, but the same Rambam approach and commitment to good character, form, and excellence. All in a week’s work.
