A Note from Miriam

Dear Fourth Grade Families,

I wanted to express my deep gratitude for your support and generosity as I close my time here at Senesh. Yesterday, the fourth graders showered me with love and presents, including a poster and an Amazon gift card from the 4th grade parents. I was blown away by your generosity and it will be immensely helpful as my husband and I start this new chapter. Through emails, in person, at conferences — each of you have taken an opportunity to wish me the best and express your happiness for me. It is community in every sense of the word and one I will truly miss. This is an exceptional class and it has been such a treat to be their teacher. It makes me very sad to know I will miss the next few months of the school year, some that are full of many special events and milestones for these kids.

I am leaving the class in incredible capable hands. Alisa has been a fantastic addition to the team and it has been a very smooth transition. Over the past few weeks, she has already has taken the lead in the fourth grade general studies and the students have embraced her fully as their teacher. I know it will be a wonderful rest of the year for them all. The fourth grade team is strong and will continue to collaborate to support these kids.

I will be sure to keep you all posted on news as things unfold in these next few weeks. If you’re ever in Chicago or just wish to reach out, please do not hesitate to write me at kopelow.miriam@gmail.com . I would love to hear from you!

Thank you again for a wonderful year, a thoughtful gift, and your fabulous children. From the entire fourth grade team, chag sameach to you all!

Miriam
