Maya: We did this team building exercise called a Leap of Faith. I had to trust that my classmates would catch me. I have known my classmates for a long time and know that they care about me, so having trust in them was easy .

Nathan: How can I choose? I make memories all the time here! Just a few days ago, we did a World War I trench warfare simulation. We learned how pointless that tactic was, and it only succeeded to wittle down the other side's forces. Nobody can truly win in trench warfare. 

Gabriel: I love sports, and especially playing them with my friends and representing Mirowitz at other schools. 

Mirowitz teachers purposefully plan for learning moments that will become treasured life-long memories. We infuse childhood with Jewish milestones like Simchat Gan, Simchat Siddur, chanting Torah and visiting Israel. We plant butterfly gardens, restore prairies, nurture chickens, sustain ponds and grow vegetables, immersing our students in the world beyond the classroom.

 

It is our hope that when your children are Mirowitz alumni, they will look back on their childhoods with joy. We hope they will recall profound moments that are connected with learning, with Judaism and community. We hope they will continue to find that learning is satisfying and inspiring, and that the memories they made here have shaped them into the best version of themselves.

 

After all, our childhood memories have the potential to make us who we are.

 

Have a memory-making and joyful winter vacation! We'll see you January 2.

 

 

Thank you to the 75 parents who have shared your opinions with us about Mirowitz and the experiences your family is having this year. 

We take your feedback very seriously, and use it to guide both our day-to-day operations and our longer-term strategic planning as we strive for excellence. 

We hope you, too, will use your voice to make our community better. If you have not yet completed the survey, we hope you will take fifteen minutes to do so. To ensure that everyone has a chance to complete the survey, we will keep it open until the end of the year. We are studying every survey, and would like to begin next semester having processed your feedback so we can rededicate ourselves to the commitments we have made to each of you.  Contact Mary if you have any questions.

In Honor of

Judah Y. 

“Happy 9th Birthday Judah!”

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Aidin. Ben, & Sienna
