Students of Darchei Limud Enjoy End-of-Year Trip

Boys at Cheder Darchai Limud were rewarded with a trip to Strike Ten Lanes in Mill Basin, followed by a pizza and ice cream party at Dagan’s Pizza down the road. The boys had to work really hard for this trip; they were tested on the Chumash they had learned throughout the year, demonstrating mastery in the skills learnt and becoming engaged in the story from the text. For some of these boys, getting tested on entire perokim at once was quite a feat.
