Have you ever been to this state’s capital? The 5th and 6th graders of the N.E. Miles Jewish Day School have! They recently went to the Alabama state capital, Montgomery, on a field trip.

Cheers from the teachers roar around the ILC. Upbeat techno music plays as the kindergarteners dance down the runway.


Second grade is off to a great start. We have already begun reading some great books and learning about some of the best authors.

Greetings from the Department of Physical Education! Why are Tuesdays and Thursdays filled with excitement? It’s Sneaker Day! Well, technically it’s P.E. Day, but that involves everyone remembering to wear their athletic shoes.

As part of our Humanities curriculum, the sixth graders have been studying immigration through literature, historical artifacts, news articles, political cartoons, and more.

My previous principal always stated that the first thing a child should hear in the morning is a greeting and something kind and positive.

A part from all the fun, we are also learning the old fashion way by practicing our grammar and reading by reading interesting Judaic stories in Hebrew.

At N.E. Miles Jewish Day School, we learn science by doing science.
