JPPS Teacher Sheila Witt Folk Shule ’53: first recipient of the Nachum Wilchesky Memorial Educational Leadership Award

It was so fitting that JPPS teacher and Folk Shule graduate from 1953 Sheila Witt was named the first recipient of the very prestigious Nachum Wilchesky Memorial Educational Leadership Award at the JPPS-Bialik Annual General Meeting held on November 29th.

It was a unanimous decision on the part of the committee chaired by Past President Shelley Cohen JPPS ’69.  Committee members Edmond Elbaz, Directeur des Etudes Françaises Emérite, Merle Frankel Wolofsky, Executive Director Emeritus and Sara Weinberg, Director of Early Childhood and Elementary Education, Concordia University, carefully considered the criteria for the award – that it be bestowed upon a JPPS-Bialik teacher, administrator, educational staff member, or lay leader demonstrating outstanding teaching excellence or innovative and inspirational leadership in the field of Jewish education –  as well as Nachum Wilchesky’s own love for the Yiddish language and culture, alongside the teaching of French, English and Hebrew.

Visit the JPPS Open House on Tuesday, October 26th, 2010. The Presentation begins at 9:00 a.m. and the school tours begin at 9:30 a.m. Whether you are interested in Pre-K (3 and 4 year olds), section Française, or K - 6, everyone is welcome!
