Milo Week 7: Theater Program Letter Pt. 2

 Last week, I wrote about the equipment issues in our school’s theater program. I asked for funding to put into this specific problem, fixing But broken microphones aren't the only reason I'm writing to you. The performance space at our school is Zinman Hall, and while we love getting the opportunity to use that space, it's not always so easy. Every time we want to rehearse in Zinman, we need to pay a fee, not such an affordable one. This cost limits the actual rehearsals we can have with the entire cast. Despite all the money we raise for each musical, at the end of the year, there's barely enough money left for the next show. 

I want to be that change. This year, I want to give the drama department enough of a boost to improve the quality of overall performances. This would give high school students better chances of getting a performing arts scholarship. Not only that, it would help us continue putting on outstanding productions in future years and help encourage younger kids to get involved in theater. I'm incredibly passionate about the musical theater program at Donna Klein, and I truly believe I can make a difference in it. With your support, a good start might be signing a petition to send to the school’s board of directors. If anyone is interested or willing to help me with this, I would love the extra help, and you can leave a comment below.

Thank you for reading!

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
