The Ramaz middle school held a special Thanksgiving assembly that celebrated many members of the school community. Throughout the program, attendees heard speeches from students and teachers, as well as student musical performances. Head of Middle School, and former MS history teacher, Jennifer Bernstein even gave a fascinating lesson on the history of Thanksgiving. To make the event even more heartwarming, the school presented its Thanks-for-Giving Award to Teach NYS, an advocacy group that helps secure funding for Jewish schools. Teach NYS representative Sydney Altfield accepted the award and spoke to students about the organization’s commitment to supporting Jewish education.
