Lisa shared insights about Todd’s time at WA. Playing sports was his passion, and his favorite memory was winning the basketball PSL (Private School League) title. In fact, the Beamers have a piece of the old Warrior Dome floor on display in their home along with the 1985 and 1986 conference basketball schedules, marked with Ws and Ls. Todd’s best friend, Keith Franz ’87, told Lisa that Todd was known as a gamer, the guy you wanted to have the ball when the game was on the line. Lisa thanked the godly men from WA and Wheaton Christian Grammar School who had a profound influence on Todd’s life story: Steve Clum, Gene Frost, Ned Gulbransen, Ken Ellis, Jim Huitsing, Roger Burgess, Steve Johnson. As a mom of three, Lisa exhorted the Academy students to ask themselves: What is the use of my story apart from His? Jesus’ story is one of servanthood driven by perfect love. She challenged them not to seek the perfect story—as sought by so many on social media platforms—but to embrace the truth that our stories will take unexpected twists and turns. An awareness that we cannot—and should not—control our lives frees us to love God and serve people in a countercultural way. Her faith in the face of personal tragedy made her testimony all the more compelling as she urged those in attendance to “embrace the unexpected and the paradoxical with the attitude of a servant whose purpose is singular—to attend to what the Master loves.” You can view her chapel Top: Lisa Beamer speaking at a WA chapel Bottom: Yearbook photo of Todd Beamer ’87 and message in its entirety at livestream.com/walivevideo or read more about Todd teammates commemorating the PSL basketball and Lisa Beamer in Lisa’s book, Let’s Roll. championship in 1986 Grandparents Day 2019 Wheaton Academy students welcomed their grandparents to our campus on Tuesday, April 30, for our annual Grandparents Day celebration.

  • Heschel Curriculum Guide
    ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL DAY SCHOOL Curriculum Guide TRADITION CHARACTER COMMUNITY קהילה מסורת אישיות 17701 Devonshire Street, Northridge, CA 91325 Phone: 818.368.5781 www.heschel.com © Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL DAY SCHOOL Mission Statement Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School, a community Jewish day school, provides a rich dual-curricular education that encourages independent and critical thinking, lifelong learning, self-awareness, and compassion. In partnership with our families, we inspire our students to become active, dedicated, ethical, and informed citizens and leaders who are committed to Israel and the vitality of the Jewish people. Welcome to Heschel! This Curriculum Guide describes the content, goals, and philosophy of academic and extracurricular programs of Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School. Each class has been carefully designed to enable us to share our passion for learning with Heschel students. Middle school is a time of transition, punctuated by dramatic physical, emotional, and intellectual changes, accompanied by leaps in independence. Seemingly overnight, a student’s voice or height changes, interests emerge, friendships ebb and flow. Students proceed through these changes at their own pace; each day in middle school provides new experiences and learning opportunities. What a Curriculum Guide cannot reflect is the part of the middle school experience that occurs “between the lines,” in the daily interactions between teachers and students, in the hallways, and among the students themselves. As faculty, we are aware of the fragility and malleability of adolescents and our significance as role models in their healthy development. What do we expect of this varied group of individuals? Not so much a discrete body of knowledge as an impact on values, personal identity, and sense of curiosity.
