Ellen Landy Spelling Bee Champ!

and moved on to compete in the Birmingham City Schools District Spelling Bee. Ellen competed with incredible confidence and placed 2nd. With only 12 hours notice, Ellen competed this morning in the Jefferson County Spelling Bee - against all the spelling bee winners from each district in Jefferson County. Ellen placed 4th overall! We are incredibly proud of Ellen and thank her for doing such a good job representing the N.E. Miles Jewish Day School!

Students who leave the N.E. Miles Jewish Day School continue to demonstrate their excellence in academics.

CELEBRATION OF LEARNING

One hundred days of learning .... one hundred days smarter! That's the mantra of our Kindergarten, First and Second grade students as they all celebrated the joy of being part of the N.E. Miles Jewish Day School. In fact, they all had so much fun on their 100th day of school, that they didn't even realize just how hard they worked all day long with writing, math, reading, art, poetry and PE. What will I look like when I am 100 years old? How will I spend $100. What does 100 toppings on ice cream really look like?! Can I complete 100 PE activities? Thank you to our incredible faculty for making the 100th day such an incredible and creative celebration of learning!
