Students in all divisions have been participating in special activities in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month.
Preschoolers participated in Jewish American Heritage Month by exploring the Jewish value of tzedakah, which means helping others through acts of kindness.
Lower school students learned about some important cultural practices in Jewish American families, such as klezmer music and instruments and how song and dance keep traditions alive in the Jewish community. Students made their own instrument as they learned about a simcha (joyful event).
On May 3, Dean of Campus Life Roderick Fludd shared a presentation with middle and upper school students featuring local artist Victoria Carlin Milstein, who created the sculpture She Wouldn’t Take Off Her Boots. This sculpture, which is located downtown in LeBauer Park, is North Carolina’s first women’s Holocaust memorial monument.
