Heilicher Parent Education Night Addressing Anti-Semitism
Research shows that one of the best ways we can help prepare our children to cope with discrimination and intolerance is by being open about it. Heilicher is proud to host Real Conversations: Talking to Your School-Age Children About Anti-Semitism on Tuesday, January 28, 7- 8:30 p.m. at the Barry Family Campus. We will be joined by Leah Persky, Jewish Family and Children's Service (JFCS) Family Life Education Program Manager and Jill Kozberg, MA, LP, Licensed Psychologist and Program Manager for the Counseling Department at JFCS. The program will include an interactive discussion and an inter-generational panel. This event is free and open to the public.

The Heilicher Hora online fundraiser is up and running. To

This is an exciting opportunity for you to help raise money for our school's continued commitment to financial accessibility for all families.
Please help us reach our goal by supporting our
online fundraiser. If you prefer, cash and/or checks, made out to Heilicher, can be collected instead of an online gift.
