Evita and Israel Arbeiter
I will raise my voice until the day I see all human beings love each other.
I will raise my voice until the day I am certain the Holocaust will never happen again.
– Evita, Grade 8, Milton Academy
Evita has a special commitment to bringing to light, the horrors of the Holocaust and to finding hope for future generations. She shared her commitment to human rights in an essay that she recently submitted to the Israel Arbeiter Essay Contest. Her talent as a writer, and her dedication to ensuring that the memory of those who died in the Holocaust is not forgotten earned her 2nd place in the competition which included students from 6th to 12th grade, from across the Boston area. Evita received her award at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston commemoration of Yom HaShoah on Sunday, May 1 at Faneuil Hall in Boston.
In Grade 8 Social Studies classes, students have been talking about leadership. Specifically, students are asking themselves: What makes a good leader? What does it mean to lead? What lasting impact do leaders, as changemakers, have? Evita’s participation in the contest stemmed from the work that students are doing in the areas of leadership and change.
Congratulations to Evita for her good work! We are all so proud of you!
