School children in Beer Sheva

Vsited a community school this morning in Beer Sheva which has the oldest implementation of pact in israel.

This school was wonderful - like looking at one our schools back home but with nothing but hebrew on the walls and hebrew speaking polite well educated children.

Liora, the principal, took the philosphy with pact that it should be applied to everyone, not just the olim. To that end they asked does everybody has to be excellent? Yes, we decided every child will be excellent.

Pact was inculcated throughout entire school - not just ethiopian olim and as a result their standards exceed other schools throughout israel and their olim students are just as adapted to their grade as the rest of the class.

The students performed dance and music for us and smiled for the camera. It was a warm wonderful community school and very proud.
