💙🥎 TIGERS FOREVER 🐯

The 2026 Varsity Softball Tigers gave us a performance and season that our community will never forget.

While today’s NYSAIS State Championship game did not end the way we hoped, our Bay Ridge Prep Tigers came out strong, taking an early lead and holding off Poly Prep through four innings before Poly ultimately pulled ahead in the final innings. Throughout the game, our student-athletes showed tremendous heart, determination, and resilience on the biggest stage in school history. Thank you to everyone who came to watch and who watched online, and thank you, Poly, for a fantastic game.

This season was nothing short of historic. The Tigers completed an unprecedented fifth consecutive undefeated season in the Independent School Athletic League and made the deepest NYSAIS Tournament run of any Bay Ridge Prep team ever — defeating higher-seeded opponents and competing against schools much larger than our own.

We are incredibly grateful to our players, coaches, and families for the immense pride they have brought to Bay Ridge Prep throughout this remarkable journey. Thank you for an unforgettable season and for inspiring our entire school community.

TIGERS FOREVER! 💙🤍

📚✨ Faculty Spotlight: Ms. Brie Publishes Her First Book! ✨📚

We are proud to celebrate Upper School English teacher Brianne (“Ms. Brie”) Rosa on the publication of her debut novel, The Three Fates of Charlie Red!

Inspired by her early days teaching A Wrinkle in Time at Bay Ridge Prep, this YA fantasy follows 15-year-old Charlie Red as she navigates ADHD, decision paralysis, and a high-stakes mission to save humanity—alongside a trio of witches.

Ms. Brie extends heartfelt thanks to the Bay Ridge Prep community for their support along the way, and fittingly dedicates the novel: “For my students: past, present, and future.” 💙

🌿 3rd & 7th Graders Take on the Brooklyn Botanic Garden 🌿

The Rainforest Project leveled up as our 3rd graders dove into an Ecological Exploration workshop, discovering how plants adapt across rainforests, deserts, and marshes. Students compared biomes and even created their own mini terrariums to take home 🌱

Meanwhile, our 7th graders brought their biology studies to life, exploring plant cells and adaptations firsthand. From greenhouse tours to planting jade and pothos, they saw how plants thrive in even the most extreme environments.

Connecting with nature instead of a screen? We love to see it!

(Don’t miss the 3rd Grade Rainforest Project on May 8th!)
