Jennifer Levine recently received a Discretionary grant for The Miracle on Monroe Street project from the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence. Levine will be collaborating with Naomi Kirkman, a third grade teacher at Bradford school in Montclair. The program will include a pre-show workshop on the immigrant child, the "Miracle" performance, and a puppet-making session which encourages the children to explore unique immigrant roots and culture. "I hope that the project will heighten awareness among my third graders about their family history," said Ms. Kirkman, who noted that the class has been learning about Ellis Island and immigration issues. "The kids seem to be fascinated by the notion that we are all immigrants. I think that "Miracle" will bring to life in a powerful way the story of one family's experience," noted Kirkman. |
