Sandra Banon, Cycle 3 French teacher (St. Monica), and Samantha Page Smith, Spiritual and Community Animator (Westmount High, St. Monica, Hampstead, and John Grant High School) were selected to take part in the 2023 Canadian Society for Yad Vashem Holocaust Educators Scholarship program in Israel this past July along with dozens of other educators from across Canada. Mme Banon took part in the two-week seminar in French, while Ms. Samantha took part in the English. They attended lectures and workshops at the International School for Holocaust Studies (ISHS) where educators are taught to bring their students safely in and safely out of the learning environment with the provision of age and level appropriate materials to aid the learning process. The ISHS uses an interdisciplinary approach to Holocaust education - through art, music, literature, theology and drama - to provide students a broader understanding of what happened during this period. Sandra and Samantha will be bringing their applied knowledge to St. Monica (and others) in the year ahead.
