Students Remember Mrs. Brooks ז"ל
Jamie Polinsky, Class of 2014 “In Mrs. Brooks’ class compliments were few and far between, yet I worked harder in her class than ever worked just that she would be proud of me.” Daniel Shpilsky, Class of 2014 “Mrs. Brooks treated her students as her extended family... Her legacy continues to live on through the many lives she touched.”
CLASS OF 1992 NER TAMID CAMPAIGN IN MEMORY OF BRAD NUSSBAUM ז"לand JASON FOLK ז"ל In early November, six members of the Class of 1992 sent out an email letter to classmates and other alumni telling them about the launch of a special Class of 1992 Memorial Campaign. They are raising funds to dedicate the Ner Tamid in the Horace Bier Beit Knesset at the Wilf Lower School Campus in memory of classmates Brad Nussbaum ז"ל and Jason Folk ז"לwho are truly missed by their classmates and friends.
Jennifer Greenberg, Class of 2014 “Little did we know that her pop quizzes would prepare us in the best possible way. Mrs. Brooks was the most practical and well-meaning teacher I’ve ever had, taking care to make sure her information wasn’t ever boring.” Genna Karp, Class of 2014 “Mrs. Brooks affected me more than I could ever put into words. I have never before had a teacher who was so personally invested in me.”
