t w e n t y - o n e It's no wonder RHA students soar This year two of RHA's educators are recognized with a special faculty award. Carole Traister Without fail, every grade two student bounds into the house and announces the same thing. "Mrs. Traister is the world's best teacher." For the past 17 years, Carole Traister has made each one of her students feel like they are one in a million. With her passion, her humour, and with a smile on her face every day, Mrs. Traister makes her classroom a warm and a fun place to be. She inspires students to work their hardest and try their best because, as she puts it, they are 'her kids.' She engages them, she nurtures them and she teaches them. The impact lasts a lifetime. Students well into their work lives still come back to see Mrs. Traister just to say hi – and thanks. 2014-2015 RESULTS Royal Canadian Legion Literary Competition Jonah Garmaise Avalon Nisenbaum Fifth Annual Jewish Schools Debate Talia Levitt – Semi-finalist Danielle Wohl – Semi-finalist 2015 UJA Creative Writing Contest Maya Tick Ellie Joseph Danielle Wohl Keren Gorman Justin Marks Talia Golger Jewish Music Week Art Contest Orly Bloom – Honourable Mention Charley Levy – Artist of Note 2015 National Bible Contest Eva Einarsen Nate Feldman Ellie Joseph Hannah Damiani Tal Davis Ari Freedman Jonah Garmaise Keren Gorman Benjamin Lazarus Talia Levitt Dylan Malamed Aaron Nash Evan Rimer Jamie Smith Caribou Mathematics Competition Tal Davis Jonah Garmaise Rebecca Halpern Simone Halpern Ellie Joseph Jonah Kowal Nathan Kowal Benjamin Lazarus Talia Levitt Claire Lipton Dylan Malamed Harley Malamed Shawna Pervin Jonathan Safer-Rosenthal Jake Starkman Carole Traister Hana MacMull Hana MacMull The teacher who truly loves students – the teacher who truly loves the heritage and the scholarship – this is the teacher who instills a lasting love of learning. Hana Macmull is that teacher. There is not a challenge Hana doesn't passionately embrace – even (and especially) the overwhelming ones. Because of it, her students embrace every challenge as well. Hana's middle-school classroom is a hive of intelligent and passionate inquiry in both Bible studies and Israeli current events. And most importantly – Hana's classroom is a place students want to be. RHA students really do reach further
