JEC Lower School Wants Students to ‘BAM’

BAM! This is the message JEC plans to instill in its students and the larger JEC family throughout the year. “BAM” stands for “Be A Mentch.” The program was inaugurated as part of the 9/11 assembly, which focused on the importance of helping others and doing the right thing. All students in the Lower School received a “Mentch Membership” card and can earn mentch points for their midot. Following the assembly, the students reflected on the meaning of the word “mentch” and shared their own personal examples of how we can all “Be A Mentch.” Their answers are displayed on the BAM bulletin board. It is amazing to watch as students throughout the school proudly wear their Mentch Membership cards and look for more and more opportunities to be a mentch. BAM was received by both students and parents with great excitement and it looks like this is going to be a midot-filled year of fun!
