Holiday Greetings From Across the Country



Rooms 2 and 6 are participating in a Holiday Card Exchange this year through Projects By Jen. The students have created holiday cards to be sent to 25 different school throughout the country. The card exchange gives the students a chance to learn about the climate and history of schools in other parts of the country. Using Google Earth, the students will actually be able to take a "tour" of the country as they connect with other students participating in the project. This project also opens up the opportunity to develop pen-pals and collaboration partners for other projects throughout the year. Keep your eye out for the displays of the card that we receive.

The planning for this year's “Survivor Miriam” Summer Program is underway. While the TV show encourages players to “Outwit, Outplay and Outlast”, our goal will be to “Enlighten, Encourage, and Empower.”

The Miriam School Summer Program offers the opportunity for students to maintain academic skills through instruction in reading, math and written language in the morning. During the afternoon, the students will participate in a variety of enrichment activities based on our theme and will explore the social skills necessary for successful teamwork.

  • Session 1, "Navigators" will introduce the skills of survival. Older students may learn about how to read a map and how to survive both in the classroom and in the wild, while the younger students will learn about the many different habitats found around the world.
  • Students moving on to Session 2, "Explorers" will continue their journey of survival. Younger students will learn how animals and people "survive" in different environments. and older students will explore their own personal learning styles, and learn about the ways in which exploration has changed the world as we know it.
Weekly "tribe challenges" will focus on team building games and activities that are not about competitiveness, but rather about empowerment.


“Survivor Miriam” offers 2 two-week sessions. Students can sign up for one or both two-week sessions. Groups are determined by age, social skills and academic compatibility.

"Navigators" Session 1: June 21 - July 2 - $600
"Explorers" Session 2: July 6 - July 16 - $575 (No program July 5)

Registration for "Survivor Miriam" will begin in January.
