AMANDA'S INTERVIEW WITH MRS. MARLOWE

AMANDA: HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED IN THIS SCHOOL?
Mrs. Marlowe: This is my first year in the capacity of a principal. But if you remember last year, I was your teacher for a little bit so I could say that I have worked in this school already last year.

AMANDA: IF YOU HAVE IDEAS FOR THE SCHOOL WHAT ARE THEY?
Mrs. Marlowe: Ohhhh the ideas I have for this school. Similar to InfoQuest which is a little bit of an enrichment program (like it’s interesting ideas for the children to follow up on and to understand), I would like to have different contests like I would like to have a Reading Challenge and I would like to have a Girl’s newspaper… these are just some of these ideas that we have. There are plenty of more still that we are thinking about.

AMANDA: SINCE WHEN DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A PRINCIPAL?
Mrs. Marlowe: I never really thought about wanting to become a principal. This just happened at the end of last year. A teacher is what I always wanted to be. A principal was when the position became available, I said, “In my children’s school? I would do anything!” That’s how I came to be the principal at Yeshiva Elementary School. The best Elementary School in South Florida.

AMANDA: WHY DID YOU BECOME A PRINCIPAL AND NOTHING ELSE?
Mrs. Marlowe: You mean of all the things I could have been, why did I choose to be the principal? I accepted the principalship because when you are the principal, you are involved with a lot of children all day long and you have a chance to make sure that the children you are involved with are happy, that they are succeeding and that they are having a wonderful year and that is really the goal.

AMANDA: THANK YOU!
Mrs. Marlowe: Thank you!

MIRIAM'S INTERVIEW WITH RABBI JANOWSKI

MIRIAM: HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED IN THIS SCHOOL?
Rabbi Janowski: I worked in this school for 20 years.

MIRIAM: IF YOU HAVE ANY GOALS FOR THE SCHOOL, WHAT ARE THEY?
Rabbi Janowski: My goals for this school is that we should be one of the top 10 schools in the United States in both Limudei Kodesh and Secular Education and that the kids that come out of this school are full B’nei Torah and B’nos Torah and are able to handle themselves in all kinds of situations and they know what the Torah requires of them and they go on to higher schools of learning. To just see nachas from all of them.

MIRIAM: SINCE WHEN DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A PRINCIPAL?
Rabbi Janowski: That is a good question. I never really thought of being a principal. But when I came to Miami, this was my first job and I really started being a Rebbe. I really grew with the school.
