Meet the Middle School Zoning Committee: Co-Chair Helaine Greenfeld
April 19, 2016
Our family has been involved with JPDS-NC for the last 16 years, since our son, Jake, started Kindergarten at the old Montgomery Hills location, continuing with my tenure as a Board Trustee and President, our daughter Abby’s graduation in 2011, and through to my current terms returning to the Board and serving as Co-Chair of […]
Meet the Endowment Committee: Co-Chair David Kurtzer-Ellenbogen
April 14, 2016
I’m the relatively rare non‑transplant to the DC area. I grew up in Silver Spring, and graduated from a (different) Jewish day school. Lucy is a Jewish day school alum as well, from a school in the UK. The grounding and foundation in Jewish texts, tradition and practice that our day school education gave us […]
Meet the Endowment Committee: Co-Chair John Hasenberg
April 14, 2016
The Hasenberg family’s love affair with JPDS-NC began the day we visited the school in 2009. As our daughter Ellie is now on the verge of graduating and our son Benny looks forward to joining the first class in the Middle School, that relationship continues to flourish. Indeed, it feels like our family has grown […]

Meet the Middle School Match Committee: Co-Chair Edna Friedberg
March 30, 2016
We first heard about JPDS-NC before we were even parents. A friend was a JPDS-NC teacher and spoke glowingly about a young, fledgling Jewish school. Frankly, I didn’t believe any school could be as great as she claimed. But a few years after we welcomed our first child, I attended a JPDS-NC Open House and […]
Meet the Middle School Match Committee: Co-Chair Miriam Feffer
March 30, 2016
On the first day of Pre-K, JPDS-NC immediately felt like home. From the stellar teaching teams to the gorgeous South Campus to the daily celebration of our pluralistic mosaic, every aspect of school life is infused with creativity, kindness, and purpose. When our daughter reported that the big kids look out for little kids on […]
Meet the Middle School Marketing Committee: Co-Chair Abigail Sharon
March 10, 2016
When I first watched the JPDS-NC Admissions video back in 2013, I found myself welling up. What was going on? Then I realized, I was feeling our school’s neshuma. I knew immediately that JPDS-NC was a special school where our girls would thrive. The following year, I volunteered to work on the school’s new Admission video […]
Meet the Middle School Marketing Committee: Co-Chair Marci Klugman
March 10, 2016
When we walked through the doors of JPDS-NC for our prospective parent tour over 6 years ago, I felt like I was entering a warm, lively home. I saw kids singing, dancing and laughing in their classrooms, and older kids (who looked so big!) reading to younger ones sitting on the floor in the hallway. […]
Picture This: Envisioning Our Middle School
March 3, 2016 by
What an exciting moment this is to be on the cusp, at that moment of possibility and potential. As we look ahead to our Middle School, we can embrace the opportunity to apply what we have learned, to enrich what we have achieved, and to realize what we imagine. This is the time to come […]
