June 8-10 Elective Class Preview
Looking for fun ways to engage your students June 8-June 10? Heilicher staff, alumni, and some rabbis in our community are putting together "remote" elective classes for students in all grades K-8.
Whether your student is looking to get creative and choreograph a music video, get their hands messy with fun arts-and-crafts, or take a moment to check-in with a mindful session of Mussar; there's sure to be a session that interests everyone.
We look forward to sharing a full list of elective course offerings and the sign up form in next week's ROAR. Stay tuned!

Hebrew Faculty Departure
The end of the school year always brings a multitude of farewells and heartfelt gratitude for all those who have made our community special. In that spirit
we announce the departure of Michelle Etzion at the end of the school year. Michelle and her husband Jack will be moving to Delray Beach, Florida.
Michelle moved to Minneapolis in the summer of 2006 and joined the Heilicher faculty as a Hebrew teacher shortly thereafter. She began as a first- and second-grade Hebrew teacher and has since taught Hebrew to every grade level, except kindergarten. She has also enjoyed teaching dance to many of our students during various elective classes. Michelle has helped plan many All-School Jewish Studies programs, including our recent, first-ever Zoom Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut assemblies during Heilicher@Home. Michelle is also a proud Heilicher alumni parent of Ori and Daniella.
We know you all will join us in wishing Michelle well!
