There’s kindness to be found at YCQ

The Yeshiva of Central Queens and the YCQ PTO dedicated a Kindness Campaign in memory of Melissa Maisel A”H, beginning with assemblies led by Rabbi Landsman. Students and staff received zip-up sweatshirts from the PTO with “Be Kind” written on the back.

A “Mix It Up Lunch” encouraged JHS students to sit with new peers, and seventh and eighth graders led activities for elementary school students.

Additional programming included two Yom Iyuns for Grades 4 and 5 and 6 and 8, respectively. Students learned b’chavruta about the importance of chesed and emulating Hashem’s kindness to us.

The week concluded with “Action Plan Day” during which the entire school wore blue for bullying prevention and made personal commitments to positive change.
