Raoul Wallenberg Day
This year, the student planning committee (headed by Yona Lazar and Adi Farage) chose to have Raoul Wallenberg Day centre around the theme of freedom of speech and expression. This was inspired by Salmon Rushdie's quote, "Free speech is life itself."In an effort to turn the day's theme into a philanthropic cause, the students tied the day's fundraising efforts in with two valuable literacy-related causes. One charity was "Share the Magic", which collects gently used books and uses them to create libraries for communities that have few literary resources. Our second charity, "Words for Hope", is being run by Emily Kroft, and aims to increase literacy in the inner schools in Winnipeg, Toronto, and overseas through the sales of handmade bracelets.
The day's speakers complemented the theme perfectly and came from a wide variety of backgrounds and areas. Our Raoul Wallenberg Day kicked off with a student-made video exploring the day's theme and a panel discussion between Dr. Jeremy Maron, Ibrahim Wadood and Bryan Schwartz (moderated by Howard Morry). After discussing varying social, moral and legal perspectives, the students dispersed to attend a variety of breakout sessions, headed up by some incredible speakers. Our speakers' life experiences included everything from growing up during the rule of the Third Reich in Berlin and personally encountering Hitler, to the antisemitic experiences seen in school for an African Jew. Everyone had a fascinating story and the students were enthralled with all their experiences.
The breakout sessions were complemented by performances by spoken word artist Nereo II. He shared about how his love of art and passion for creatively expressing himself have shaped him into the person he is today. His poetry was so captivating, we called him up for an encore, later in the afternoon.
Finally, this engaging day was capped off with a discussion by Ace Burpee about freedom of speech and the media. Ace reminded us about how fortunate we are to live in a country whose media allows our voices to be heard, and about the importance of using our freedom of speech to positively impact others.
Raoul Wallenberg Day was a huge success and brought in many visitors both sharing their stories, and helping us get ours out. Special thanks to CBC who came to cover our day, spoke with our students and featured us in their evening television and radio Top: Panel speakers engage in discussion.

Rabbi Steve GreenbergOn Monday, Rabbi Steven Greenberg came to speak to the Gr. 9 - 12 students about being an orthodox rabbi and being gay. He talked to the students about his years at Yeshiva University and struggling with the questions of "Was my desire ugly? Was it okay to listen to my inner feelings?" He talked about the day that he "came out" being the exact day that he also met his partner. Rabbi Greenberg also shared about family members who embraced his choice, and family members who embraced him because they love him. He talked about the Torah being capable of embracing new knowledge and new social situations. - Joyce Kerr (Vice-Principal) Rabbi Greenberg shares about being a gay Orthodox rabbi.

Later, we pulled out the juggling props and RipStiks and Dr. Coodin taught everyone how to juggle!

In memory of Jonah Nepon ‘02 (z"l), we asked one of his former teachers
to say a few words. This is how Sharon Freed fondly remembers him: "I knew Jonah as a gentle, kind and friendly young man. He always had a smile on his face. Jonah would offer his help whenever he saw someone in need, but it's his sweet but naughty nature I remember best. He was a guta neshama, a good soul, and even when being a little mischievious, his goodness always shone through." We offer Jonah's family and loved ones our heartfelt condolences as they fondly remember his life. If you have something you'd like to share with us, please send an email to amorgan@grayacademy.

We discovered many of the resources available to us through the library. Some of the students discovered microfiche and historical filmstrips on the third floor. We saw books that were written in Braille, Russian, Hebrew and many other languages. There were many, books that were interesting and that the children wanted to read. The children felt very lucky to have this huge library in our city. We were able to go on a self-guided tour of the entire building. Most of the children had library cards and were thrilled to choose books to bring home. It was a very fun learning experience for everyone.

Gr. 10 to Siloam MissionMiss Crowley's Gr. 10 Geography class had the wonderful opportunity today to volunteer at Siloam Mission. Students were able to help prepare a meal and serve it to the Mission's patrons as well as help out in various ways. In addition, the class made sure to bring down urgently needed donations, such as toiletries and clothing. Siloam Mission serves over 300,000 meals a year to people in need and offers free dental work, work training, and other important services. Although this visit does have strong curricular connections with our Urban Places unit (5.3 and 5.4), the impact of a visit like this is much more far-reaching. We are very proud of the empathy and pro-active spirit that students displayed from the very onset of planning this activity.

In the media, you always hear from the extremists. So, it was really nice to hear from Israeli students from different backgrounds, who were moderate and who wanted peace. With the Israeli-Arabs, we talked about what we like to do and our goals, and how they feel about living in Israel as a Muslim or Christian. I learned that a lot of them want the same things as me – to go into medicine, to go shopping, play sports, and to have peace.
