Class 2-3 Welcomes Mayor Michael Wildes of Englewood
On Friday, May 9th, Class 2-3 had the pleasure and honor of welcoming Englewood’s Mayor (and classmate Jaclyn’s father), Michael Wildes. Mayor Wildes told the class all about how, when he was only 12 years old, he knew he wanted to do whatever he could to help people. Since that time, Mayor Wildes has achieved that goal in many forms. Over the years he has been a police officer, a lawyer, a town council member, a member of Hatzala in Manhattan, mayor of Englewood, and a husband and father. Mayor Wildes stressed to the children how, even at their age, by acting kindly and helping people out, they can not only make people feel good and have a positive affect on other people’s lives, but they can also make a Kiddush Hashem, giving people a good impression of Jewish people.
The children and teachers really enjoyed the presentation and came away with a clear message of how important it is for us to help the entire community, not just the Jews or those who live immediately around us. We would like to thank Mayor Wildes for his presentation and for all the goodies he handed out.
