  “Forge ahead - - the message board of the school has listed the committees and the individuals to contact if you wish to be involved.

  Let’s get going to make change.”

  I am glad to hear that there are committees for parents to get on so that more voices can be heard and included in this COMMUNITY school.

  If this election opened the doors for more parents to get involved, then that is an excellent thing. THIS IS A VICTORY!!

  Parents must go to bat for their teachers now.

  KOL HA KAVOD that this board is starting to listen! Thank you.

  This is one step in the right direction.

  NOW HELP THOSE TEACHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I hope that the wonderful parents who ran for the new slate will stay involved. They have contributed much to the school in the past and their voices are still needed now. I am proud to see that the parents of this school can work together in atmosphere of mutual respect and collegiality. This is a step in the right direction. Kol Ha Kavod!

  Here is the opportunity to get involved and take action. It was announced at the meeting that you do not have to be a board member to become involved on the many committees the school has.

  Get involved, become a known entity - and most importantly - make a difference by taking action.

  Making a difference is a sacrifice of time and much thought. Individuals must understand this is more than just about your own child or children. This is about your community, its children, its teachers and its school. It is about making a difference, effectuating change, being part of a team and a community and working to leave a legacy for future generations.

  It is not a task or role that can be or should be taken lightly. Individuals must listen carefully to team members, parents, teachers, and community members. They must internalize things prior to making decisions as all decisions have consequences. Some are good, some are bad, and some just illicit the status quo. Most importantly - always strive to do the right thing - not just for yourself, but for the community as a whole.

  If we can all do our part and contribute our time, our thoughts, our ideas, and our expertise in a respectful manner - we will all be able to work together to help our teachers, our children, our school, and our community.

  ….however, RESPECT IS PARAMOUNT - - without Respect, nothing will or can be gained.

  Shabbat Shalom!

  2 More Committees need to be added:

  1. CONTRIBUTING TEACHER COMMITTEE

  2. JEWISH EDUCATION COMMITTEE

  also, this point on the new slate’s web site should be implemented as well:

  3. Establish an appropriate STAFF GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE that will allow teachers who feel that they are being treated unfairly to come forward in an anonymous way and have their concerns investigated and acted upon in a rapid, fair, and respectful manner.

  Thank you to all those who are seeking to make changes for the benefit of ALL STAKEHOLDERS concerned.

  First-of-Its-Kind Study Shows Students Who Attend Jewish Day Schools Are Prepared to Thrive in College

  Spurred by Dramatic Growth in Jewish Day School Enrollment, Study Provides National View of the Educational and Social Readiness of Day School Students

  BOSTON, MA — (MARKET WIRE) — May 15, 2007 — Gaining acceptance to and succeeding in college becomes a greater challenge for American high schoolers every year. This places a large burden on primary and secondary schools to adequately prepare students for the rigors of the college acceptance process and then life as a college student. According to findings released today by the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education (PEJE), Jewish day schools are meeting this challenge and preparing students to excel both academically and socially in college.

  “This survey validates what we have long seen anecdotally across the country, which is that Jewish day schools are effectively preparing students for college, while ensuring they will carry a solid grounding in Judaism,” said Rabbi Joshua Elkin, executive director of PEJE. “For the first time, we have data to show that families who select a Jewish day school not only strengthen their children’s connection to Jewish life, but prepare them at the same level as other schools for college admission, college-level studies, and the college social environment.”

  The study, commissioned by PEJE and conducted by the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University, recently surveyed 3,312 current Jewish undergraduates of varying educational and denominational backgrounds to examine the effects a Jewish day school education has on the college years. It was the first study of its kind to compare Jewish day school students to a peer group. The following are some of the survey’s key findings:

  – ACCEPTANCE TO FIRST-CHOICE COLLEGE: The majority (67%) of all Jewish
  college students surveyed are attending their first-choice college.

  Students who attended Jewish high schools are gaining acceptance to their first choice at the same rate as alumni of public and private high schools.

  – ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE: College GPAs of former Jewish day school students mirror those of students who attended public or private schools.

  – JUST SAYING NO: Former Jewish day school students are more resistant to social pressures that lead to binge drinking and other risky behaviors than their public and private school peers.

  – BURSTING THE SOCIAL BUBBLE: Jewish high school alumni develop diverse social networks that extend well beyond their day school connections. Only a small minority (11%) indicated that most of their friends continue to be those they met in high school.

  – SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE: Students who attended Jewish day school for at east six years are more likely to become involved in socially responsible activities, such as community volunteerism and advocacy, than their public and private school peers.

  – ASSUMING LEADERSHIP: More than one-third (36%) of former Jewish day school students assume leadership positions in college, similar to proportions of private and public school alumni (40% and 39%, respectively).

  — STRONG ALUMNI CONNECTIONS: Jewish high school alumni feel a greater connection to their former schools and classmates than students who attended public or private schools.

  GOD BLESS OUR ALUMNI: TAMAR, SHLOMO, ISAAC, MICHAEL, AARON ETC. AND ALL THOSE ON THE NEWLY FORMED ALUMNI COMMITTEE AT HILLEL: ROBYN, GABE, ETC.

  – BROAD CAREER POSSIBILITIES: Former Jewish day school students select major fields of study across a broad spectrum, and they intend to pursue graduate programs in proportions that are virtually indistinguishable from that of students who attended public or private schools.

  “This study makes clear that [Jewish] day schools effectively prepare students for a wide range of universities – including the nation’s most select schools,” said Fern Chertok, senior research associate for the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University. “Undergraduates with a history of day school are launched into trajectories of secular academic success and Jewish communal engagement.”

  The study also found that Jewish day schools help students maintain or strengthen their ties to Judaism while in college, regardless of their denomination or the length of time they attended Jewish day school. Students with at least some history of day school attendance reported significantly more frequent participation in Jewish life on campus, as well as a greater knowledge and understanding of Israel. Additionally, over half of the students surveyed who attended Jewish day school have taken at least one Jewish studies course in college. These results confirm that former Jewish day school students are happy to be Jewish and make efforts to expand their knowledge of the religion in college.

  “My Jewish day school experience taught me the value of having a personal relationship with my teacher, which is exponentially more important in college, particularly in a lecture class of 200 students,” said Hilary Brown, a graduate of the Weber School in Atlanta who is currently enrolled in the dual program with Columbia University and The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS). “I was also equipped with a solid foundation for my Jewish identity, which meant that when I got to campus, I already knew what community I wanted to be a part of. As overwhelming as freshman orientation can be, it was a relief to arrive with an understanding of what was important to me.”

  According to the most recent Jewish day school census (2003 - 2004), there are more than 750 Jewish day schools across the U.S., with more than 200,000 students. Jewish day schools provide students with general and Jewish education in an environment that fosters a positive connection to Jewish values and traditions. Over the past 10 years, enrollment in Jewish day schools has increased by approximately 21,000 students (11 percent), with nearly 100 more schools open in 2003 - 2004 than in 1993 - 1994.

  Methodology

  These findings emerged from a study designed to determine the broad effects of a Jewish day school education and to explore how it shapes the academic and Jewish outcomes of students during their college years.

  An online survey was created after conducting four focus groups comprised of 32 undergraduates. Three of the groups were conducted on college campuses during the academic year, while a fourth was held during summer break at a Jewish Community Center in a metropolitan area. The participants shared thoughts on their schooling and explained how it has affected their college experience.

  Between November 2006-February 2007, a diverse group of 3,312 Jewish undergraduates completed an online survey for this study. Students represented 146 different colleges and universities in the United States. The majority (82%) of the sample was derived through college contact lists, ensuring that comparison group information was available not only from students who had attended day schools but also from peers who did not have day school experience and currently attend the same colleges and universities. The sample was balanced for gender, with females comprising just over half (57%), and it featured equal representation from all four undergraduate years.

  About PEJE

  The Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education (PEJE), founded in 1997 by Michael Steinhardt and Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, is a collaborative of visionary Jewish philanthropists who seek to create a vibrant and sustainable Jewish future through strengthening the Jewish day school movement in North America. In its first nine years, PEJE’s model of making grants, providing expertise, and advocating for the day school movement reached more than 150 elementary, middle, and high schools and invested more than $20 million in the field. PEJE has contributed to the opening of more than 60 new Jewish day schools.

  Through a collaborative strategic planning process, PEJE’s original vision and mission of creating a more active, committed, literate, and sustainable Jewish community through strengthening the day school movement and opening new day schools has been expanded to include a targeted goal of increasing enrollment in new and existing Jewish day schools.

  PEJE’s strategy to achieve this goal is based on the logic that the ability to attract more families to day schools is contingent upon the capacity of each school to sustain growth and all it entails: excellent quality of the educational product, sufficient financial resources, effective volunteer and professional management, and collaborative relationships within the community.

  Some positive news for a change..what wonderful findings came out of this study! Of course, much is what many of us feel/know without the statistics

  For the first time in days, I acutally do not feel sad. To those parents who are still reading messages here, please become involved. Please urge your friends to become involved. Please let us begin to mend. Please, let all of us work together.

• 7 Anonymous // Jun 8, 2007 at 3:33 pm

  I agree Mindy. This is the first glimmer of hope, ray of sunshine, or olive branch I’ve seen extended in 2 months.

  Sure beats listening to some immature person who thinks he’s a leader say: “BURNED” or “Na Na Na Na …hey hey hey Goodbye” like a 2 year old! Shame on him!

  The parents who are all staying involved and trying to make change are welcomed and appreciated regardless of which side of the slate they are or were on.

  Parents who want to help teachers at this time are especially appreciated!

• 8 anonymous teacher // Jun 8, 2007 at 3:40 pm

  Unfortunately, the teachers still have problems. Individuals close to the board feel that any teacher who wrote on this blog should be fired. This is what we have to deal with. Isn’t there freedom of expression in the US? As in Animal Farm-all animals are created equal but some are more equal than others. We’re still at the bottom of the food chain and get no respect.

• 9 Anonymous // Jun 8, 2007 at 4:14 pm

  Poisonous individuals who are close to the board are not the board members themselves.

  (I wish you could identify who these individuals are for us. )

  It’s dismaying to think that the parents who won the election would carry revenge in their hearts against teachers of all people. Let them harbor hatred for the new slate, if anyone, but not defenseless teachers .

  I don’t think this board wants any more trouble or is looking to open any more cans of worms.

  I now know of at least 8 board members who ARE on the side of the teachers. That is no small number.

  Also, teachers who wrote on this blog — of which there are obviously several — did not and will never identify themselves. They have NO way of knowing.

  This blog is protected by the Constitution of the United States.

  To those who cannot put their swords down and turn a new page (especially after they achieved a majority vote), they should be aware that the entire community is watching them.

  They had better watch their step.

• 10 Another Teacher // Jun 8, 2007 at 4:15 pm

  Getting fired might be a blessing in disguise.

• 11 Anon // Jun 8, 2007 at 4:17 pm

  I thought they said the blog was just a bunch of young alumni who didn’t know what they were talking about???????????????

• 12 anonymous // Jun 8, 2007 at 5:46 pm

  Let’s continue to move forward in a positive manner.

  The teachers need to continue to stick together and do what they do best - - provide a warm, nurturing environment for our childre. One in which they impart their knowledge and expertise to make a difference.

  Change is in the air. This entire experience has been humbling for many. However, the battle has not been won - - by either side.

  Now is the time to mobilize and make a difference.

  It is incumbent upon each and every one of us to get involved!

  Let’s make a difference.

• 13 Mindy // Jun 8, 2007 at 6:27 pm

  To Post #11– It was not until recently that posts were put up with “teacher” in the name…the first one I recall is “hillel teacher for seven years.” who asked that phone calls be made. Then more and more followed. And some posters identifed themselves as parents.

  To Post #12: Yes!

• 14 Good Wolf // Jun 8, 2007 at 10:03 pm

  some of us have been rather alarmed about even doing this much

• 15 Anonymous // Jun 8, 2007 at 10:55 pm

  Agreed. This is not about either side winning or losing. We all have a stake in the future of the school. No one should have to feel like he is losing.

  There is room for respectful input from everyone.

  This is about a change of attitude. CHANGE IS IN THE AIR.

  Perhaps once the current board won the election, they became less on the defensive and more gracious to include others in the process because they do not fear being attacked by faceless individuals anymore.

  I am very proud to see parents on all sides of the situation, stepping forward now, getting involved, and working respectfully with each other.

  To see this makes me very proud!!!!!

  Rafa Russ is being very helpful to ALL of the parents and is going out of his way to build those bridges of communication that were missing in the past.

  I would like to commend him for this.

  I commend every one of the board members who is now reaching out to the parent body at- large.

  If you really want to make a difference, now is your chance to do something positive.

  The parents involved in the school, whether in the theater program or whether on the current board, dedicate HOURS of their time VOLUNTEERING to better the school.

  If you really want to make a change for the betterment of the current students, teachers, and future generations of Hillel, step up now, get on a committee — take action, but be prepared to be committed and dedicated to working many selfless hours for the betterment of our school.

  If you are personally not willing to make this commitment at this time, you have no right to complain.

  The channels of communication have finally been opened, thanks first to Tamar, and next to all others who stepped up to get involved. Now everyone must seize the day!!

  For those alumni who have been active on this blog, Hillel has formed a Hillel Alumni Association. If you live in Miami, now is the time to step up and get involved.

  If you live outside of Miami, I would request that this current board and the current people in charge - Chani Dennis, Heidi Frye, Robyn Baltuch etc. - look for ways to involve more alumni and find a role for out -of-towners.

  These out-of-town alumni have given a lot of themselves in the past few months and deserve a role too.

  Also, find some small roles for current college age alumni to play. They have less time available, but many have been quite active and vocal trying to help lately and have been following the unfolding events very closely. They deserve a role too.

  Our alumni are vital to the future survival of Hillel. It will be they who will decide whether to contribute their time, money, and future children to the school.

  Finally, if you really want to live up to “Torah values” like you claimed a million times in all of those slick speeches we all heard a couple nights ago, then a paramount value that should be honored is that of HaKarat HaTov .

  The middah (attribute) of hakarat hatov ( appreciating the good that is done to you), is one of the mainstays of character development.

  GRATITUDE IS AN ATTITUDE.

  (Tamar Palgon Weinberg exemplifies this attitude. That is why she put up the blog in the first place–to show gratitude to those teachers who made an impact on her. )

  As Isaac, Robyn, Chani, Heidi and several others know, the Hillel Alumni association was ALWAYS intended to be named after Dr. Jerome Levy.

  I would hope that the current leaders would continue to build on the legacy of those who built this school and would honor their memory by indeed naming the alumni association what it was intended to be named at its inception right before Dr. Levy’s z’l passing in 2001.

  That is what the leaders of great schools and “schools of [true] excellence” do: They give credit to the founders whether they personally knew them or not. So many of our alumni and teachers were touched by this man.

  Last but not least, do not forget the teachers.

  Without them your children would never be in their first or second choice colleges. More importantly, they would never have anyone inside the school building — children spend as much time in school as they do at home with their own parents — taking a personal interest in their growth as human beings.

  Get involved and help make a difference for your teachers.They really need your help RIGHT NOW!

  Again, GRATITUDE IS AN ATTITUDE.

  A TORAH ATTITUDE. Let’s all show our gratitude now.

  IT’S TIME TO IMPLEMENT THE “BLUEPRINT TO KINDNESS”

  The Torah Value of “Chesed” or “Kindness” is a much higher value on the Torah scale than the value of “Excellence”.

  Excellence - Kindness = Cruelty and Sinfulness.

  I am very glad to see that Adam Holden, or at least his marketing consultants, did read the posters’ comments on this blog last week who expressed dissatisfatisfaction that he did not give credit where credit is due, when he neglected to specifically thank his teachers in LAST Friday’s message, a glaring and revealing omission.

  (See the thread on this blog called “Election Procedures” post #6 and post #14) .

  It was noted that we would all expect to see a thank you to the staff forthcoming in THIS Friday’s message and indeed we have, whether the marketing firm wrote the letter or not.

  The importance of Jewish values is also being played up now as another poster on the previous thread noted (see “Election Procedures” post #10).

  *This blog is no doubt playing a very significant role in the shaping of the school’s agenda. *
  ______________________________
  A Message from the Head of School:

  Dear Friends ,

  In this school year’s final issue of the Kol Hillel, I write to thank you all for a most incredible year. Although today is the last day of school, we also are upon so many firsts as we step into new, exciting projects at Hillel.

  Trust that your administrative team will work hard this summer, dedicated to implementing plans, achieving goals and setting new marks for which to strive.

  Thank you for making Hillel the special place that it is. Our goal to provide the finest Jewish education is becoming a reality ; we truly are bringing our mission to life. This is due to Hillel’s extraordinary students, dedicated faculty and committed parents.

  I look forward to all that lies ahead in the coming months. Together, we are reaching new heights. May you all enjoy a safe, restful summer.

  Shabbat Shalom,

  Adam
  ___________________________

  It is interesting that the Head of School’s letter is simply signed “ADAM” and begins with “DEAR FRIENDS”.

  If “Adam” would like people to perceive him as a “friend” and as a human being then we are expecting to hear from all teachers that they are reporting less fear and more HUMANE, KIND treatment from both him and the Assistant Head–in other words, treating teachers as friends may go a long way to improving teacher morale.

  Treating others as one would like to be treated is the ultimate Torah value stated by Rav Hillel, the namesake of this institution.”V’ahavta l’reiacha kamocha–zeh klal gadol baTorah.”

  Adam, you say that we, your “FRIENDS”, should “TRUST” you; TRUST must be earned through one’s ACTIONS.

  We will now be watching and waiting to see if “your” words are MATCHED by your ACTIONS.

  We are in close communication with the faculty and we are expecting and demand to hear that they are being treated better.

  As for this school embarking upon so many FIRSTS,
  we expect to hear more CREDIT BEING GIVEN WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

  We expect to hear that Hillel is NOT embarking on so many firsts, but rather is CONTINUING IN ITS STRONG TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE THAT HAS EXISTED IN THE SCHOOL FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS.

  EXCELLENCE IS NOT A FIRST AT HILLEL.

  MANY OF THE “NEW HEIGHTS” WE ATTAINED THIS YEAR ARE IN LARGE THANKS TO THE TEACHERS WHO HAVE BEEN AT HILLEL FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS.

  Just because you keep REPEATING the same mantras over and over again (i.e. “For the first time we have a plan for excellence, For the first time we an athletic director, For the first time we have balanced audited financial statements…..blah blah blah,”) DOES NOT MAKE THEM TRUE.

  You guys can keep patting yourselves on the back all you’d like but there are at least 128 FAMILIES out there who know the truth and that number is slowly but steadily growing.

  And the truth is simply this: THE ADMINISTRATORS AND BOARD OF GOVERNORS ARE NOT DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR EXCELLENCE– TEACHERS ARE. It is long overdue that that fact be acknowledged.

  Accolades for participation in the theater program, athletic program, choir, literary magazines, Panim El Panim conferences, Model UN, school newspaper, science competitions including Intel, Jets, Olympiad, Geography Bee, etc. would NEVER have been earned without the existence of the several outstanding teachers – several who have been at Hillel for at least TWENTY YEARS, 2 DECADES PRIOR TO THIS HEAD OF SCHOOL AND ASSISTANT HEAD EVER STEPPING FOOT THROUGH THE GATES OF HILLEL….

  EXCELLENCE IS NOT A FIRST AT HILLEL.

  We hope the teachers responsible for all of this excellence will remain so that excellence will not be A LAST.

  LET’S START IMPLEMENTING A “BLUEPRINT TO KINDNESS” TO ENSURE THAT OUR “EXCELLENCE” DOES NOT WALK OUT THE DOOR………….

• 17 anonymous // Jun 9, 2007 at 10:48 pm

  Here Here! Excellent thoughtful post.

  May it be echoed that it is THANKS TO OUR DEDICATED HARD WORKING TEACHERS THAT OUR CHILDREN CONTINUE TO THRIVE AND ACHIEVE.

  After all, without teachers, where would our society be?

  Our teachers are the lifeblood of our school - - they fill our campus with warmth, love, a nurturing environment, caring, compassion and most importantly, they fill our classrooms with knowledge, enthusiasm, and expertise.

  Let us remember who is responsible for our many achievements and successes.

  ….and for those who do not know - - we have had sports teams under the direction of Richard Kaplan - - a veteran of the school who has stepped in and up to the plate on many occasions!

  As previously mentioned, our graduates have always been accepted to the top colleges and universities. The elementary school has had a curriculum map for many years that is unparalleled in the community. It was done by Dr. Wander and is an outstanding document.

  We have had a wonderful choir for many, many years. We have had yearbook, science competitions, and many of the other special events and projects - too numerous to mention. However, we never touted them and blew our horn. Therefore, they are using it as an opportunity to flaunt our achievements.

  Let it be known that this school has roots. If they continue to break them, the foundation will crumble. Ignoring the past is dangerous. The past does exist and with much glory. Without the past, they are no alumni.

  The board and head of school must understand the history and not continue to communicate these ideals as firsts. Bring honor to those before you, without their accomplishments, you would not be in your role as their would be no school.

  Do not continue to remove momentos and plaques from the past. Rededicate and renew honoring the original donators, dedicators, and endowers as well as those wishing to renew, refurbish, and rededicate. It not only provides history and honor to the past but links generations to generations.

  Honor our teachers with the respect they deserve and our school with the love it requires.

  Move ahead with positive energy, community awareness, and most importantly - effective, honest, open, and clear communication!

  Second Anonymous,

  I have full faith that you personally will, at the very least, be meeting with Rafa to convey what I have written and that you will encourage parents to meet with him and Adam Holden as well.

  I hope that parents who are involved and are planning to stay involved do not drop the ball now that teachers and alumni got the ball rolling and built up momentum.

  We need parents to do the next part. Thank you parents, as always, for your assistance. Truly heroic!

  OOPS! “SOMEONE” FORGOT TO SAY “THANKS” AND “GOODBYE”

  To Beverly Buncher and Jane Johnson:

  At the teachers’ end-of-the-year luncheon, on Friday, we deeply regret that you were not acknowledged. So, on behalf of the Hillel Faculty, we would like to thank you for all you have done for Hillel. Beverly, you have devoted many years to our school, bringing many innovative ideas that have added to the “Excellence” of the school. Thank you and we wish you much success at your new school. Jane, although you have been here only two years, you have done more for the elementary school than anyone else in Hillel’s history. Thank you for all you’ve done for the children and the Elementary Division. We wish you much happiness and much success at your new school.

• 22 Hillel Teacher // Jun 10, 2007 at 9:55 am

  TO COACH KAPLAN:

  Judging from the standing ovation and chant of “GO COACH” “GO COACH”, by your fellow staff members at our luncheon on Friday, we hope you felt “THE LOVE.” We deeply appreciate all you have done as “OUR COACH” for the past 30 years. Congratulations on receiving your “30 YEAR” plaque.

  I too have gone on to other things but my heart is still in Hillel. And will be for a very long time.
  Once a Hillel alumni (of sorts) always a Hillel alumni!
