Heilicher Hanukah Reminder
Please note there is no K-5 Kabbalat Shabbat program tomorrow. This year, we are trying a new student-only experience: The
Hanukah Exploratorium.
Tomorrow,
Friday, December 7, students will participate in a
Hanukah Exploratorium, creating Handmade
Midrashim (artistic interpretations) with their multi-grade Friday lunch tables (
mishpahot/families). Combining art, engineering, and Jewish knowledge, this STEAM-y activity will solidify students' learning in a fun, engaging, and communal fashion.

Meet School Resource Officer Dennis Maki
St. Louis Park School Resource Officer (SRO) Dennis Maki has been visiting Heilicher this year and is excited to get to know Heilicher students and their families. Officer Maki has been working with the Heilicher community since 2016.
We talked with Officer Maki and here is what he had to share:
- My favorite place(s) in St. Louis Park for peace and quiet is the Westwood Nature Center. For a relaxing dinner it's Cooper's Irish Pub in the West End.
- What I enjoy most about being a School Resource Officer is being around kids! I have regular Monday through Friday hours, so my family enjoys that as well.
- My favorite hobby right now is helping coach my son's squirt hockey team. Being around kids and staying active keeps me feeling young.
