Heilicher@Home Shared Journey
A Weekly Message from Yoni
May 14, 2020
Dear Heilicher Families,
Welcome back to my weekly message, posted on my blog Heilicher@Home Shared Journey, where we can track, together, progress on Heilicher staff's planning for next year. As a reminder, these updates may include our current decision-making process on both broad and specific matters (for example, ranging from thoughts on graduation all the way to how we will reopen next year), as well as sharing my philosophy on how to approach planning and decisions in the face of significant uncertainty. Most grade-level matters will be shared by your teachers or advisors, but I see graduation as a capstone event that has symbolic and structural relevance beyond eighth grade.
I hope you continue to find this helpful and, as always, reach out to me with questions, comments, and ideas.
Yoni

Eighth-Grade Capstone Experience
One of the hallmarks of the Heilicher experience is the eighth grade capstone project. The capstone assignment is an interdisciplinary project where students explore a social justice issue of their own choosing. Heilicher eighth grader Josh B. shares about his experience with this milestone project on
the Heilicher blog.
