SPRING 2015 AVIV 5775 VOLUME 8, ISSUE 2 Right: Video Production Laboratory Presents Seventh graders Arutz Hillel Maya Maya Schapira, 7th Grade Schapira Hillel has a brand new news channel! It is called Arutz Hillel, and the VPL - and Ari which stands for Video Production Laboratory - is the group of students that work Schlacht film a to produce each news segment. Through this brand-new news channel, we report segment what is currently happening at our school and in the Hillel community. We are to be creating new segments on events and activities that are going on at Hillel. Even included though VPL has an elective time on Fridays, many students devote their time in an during recess and breaks, as well. In Video Production Lab, we learn ideas and episode concepts to filming, editing, and publishing. Arutz Hillel is 100% scripted, filmed, of Arutz edited and produced by Hillel students.This process currently takes us about one Hillel. month from start to finish. Both students Our first segment came out on February 21, 2015. The team introduced Arutz are Hillel and gave a taste of many more shows to come. In our first episode, we involved in the showed how lucky our school was to have distinguished guests visit our school, VPL. such as Senator Joe and Hadassah Lieberman, and Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi David Lau. We then introduced the COW (Computer On Wheels). Lastly, we showed the championship victory of the boys’ varsity and Junior Varsity basketball teams. Our second episode came out not long after. In the second episode we covered three stories. The first story was about Hillel hosting a shloshim for Rabbi Gottesman. Our next story was on the third graders’ wax museum unit. And our last segment was on the middle school’s science fair. (Continued on p 16). Hillel Launches Robotics Program Talia Myers, 7th Grade Left: Sixth grader Joey Blumofe tests out his robot after programming it on a laptop computer. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in a class where you do robotics? Earlier this year, the seventh grade girls’ class completed a robotics unit in science class. In the robotics unit, we started off by building a basic robot and we had also had the option to build a puppy, a gyro boy, and a color sorter. My group decided to build the puppy. In order to build the basic robot, you have to follow the steps that are given to you on the computer. After building the robot, you have to create your own program so that the robot is programmed to do different things. Once we build the robot and create the program, we have to write it in our journals. Something that you can learn from the robotics is that you are learning how to build the robot and you are also getting to know what pieces you are using. You can also learn that you can program it in such a way that it can actually do things in real life. For example, when we built the basic robot, my group had to go back a few steps because we did something wrong. Something that I learned from this unit of robotics is that you have to have a lot of patience because if you don't have enough patience, it will be really hard for you. When doing the robotics program, I learned that every step you do is very important. For example, if you put a piece in the wrong place, you have to go back and fix it because it affects the next step. I spoke with the teacher that is directing the program, Mr. Irons, and he shared his experiences and what he thinks about the robotics program. At the beginning of the interview, we spoke about why he wanted us to do the robotics program and he responded that robotics is a way to the future and he wants us to learn about how you are supposed to program the robot. (Continued on p 16). ב"ה 2 COMMUNITY LIFE THE HILLEL GAZETTE SPRING 2015 AVIV 5775 essage from Student Council M Lady Hillel Hawks: Volleyball Dear Students, Faculty and Friends, Leah Golfiz, 7th Grade Volleyball is an amazing sport at Hillel because most people enjoy it.

  • What Is the Head of School's Responsibility
    Blog Post: What is the Head of School’s Responsibility for Teacher Development? By Rabbi Marc Baker, Head of School at Gann Academy in Waltham, MA February 18, 2011 At the recent North American Jewish Day School Conference, I had the privilege of co- presenting one of the sessions with Sharon Feiman-Nemser and Vivian Troen, two colleagues from the Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education at Brandeis University. Our session addressed new teacher induction, or the various ways that a school supports and develops its new teachers. Gann has invested significant resources over the past several years in this induction process, and one of the things I have learned is that, when done well, induction does much more than support new teachers; it actually can transform teaching and learning in the entire school. My part of the presentation focused on the role of the Head of School in the induction of new teachers and, during a case study that we presented, I was surprised and a bit disturbed by a debate that surfaced about the Head’s responsibility to new teachers. One of the participants in the session suggested that new teachers either “have it or they don’t” and that it is really their job to seek out the help they need. This belief underlies an approach to new teacher induction that is limited to “orientation,” helping teachers adjust to a new school in cultural and technical ways. Instead, my co-presenters and I suggested that we need a completely different understanding of teachers and teaching. New teachers, like new doctors or new athletes, are just beginning to learn a complex craft.

When the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly changed our lives this spring, sending students home and curtailing so many of the activities we all would have experienced had they remained on campus, most painful was the postponement of the University’s Commencement exercises that are traditionally the highlight of the academic year. Our graduates have gained the experiences and knowledge that their careers and future engagements will demand of them. Ours is a campus where students learn by doing, and our graduates have already proven themselves — winning prestigious case competitions and grants, publishing papers that have gained acclaim from scientists and scholars, and bettering their communities through hands-on internships and practicums. Outside the classroom, they have embraced their responsibilities as active members of the community. They’ve raised funds to combat deadly disease, provided food for the hungry, taught younger students in local schools and traveled across the globe to work with and learn from their international peers.

  • Jewish Donor Charitie a Recor $272
    e are privileged to continue serving the Jewish community by providing an easy and efficient vehicle to streamline charitable giving and facilitate philanthropy. This has been another record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund (JCF). WA leader in the world of Jewish philanthropy, JCF continues to be the largest and most active Jewish donor advised fund in the country, managing $1.2 billion in charitable assets. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 our diverse donor base granted more than $270 million to thousands of not-for-profits in all sectors. In addition to these generous grants recommended by our donors, JCF makes a community gift of $2 million to the UJA-Federation of New York’s Annual Campaign. JCF’s institutional endowment, our Special Gifts Fund, awarded an additional $767,000 in grants to projects and agencies in the New York Jewish community. Among those grants was one for $240,000 to provide day camp scholarships to families impacted by Hurricane Sandy that enabled 276 children to attend day camp. This is the power and impact of our JCF community! The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with outstanding personal service and the philanthropic community has taken notice. Once again, JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator, and we maintained our place as one of the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list. As JCF continues to grow, we know that we must continue to innovate, educate and create new ways to serve our network of donors and the Jewish community.
