MARGIE MARGIE MARGIE!

This May, we honor our Head of School Margie Zeskind, and bid her farewell. After 18 years, Margie is taking her leave and heading into her well-earned retirement.

Margie has put her mark on The Innovative School, and we’ve seen it transformed from being “the hidden gem” of Miami Beach schools to a brightly shining diamond of an educational institution.

A lifelong educator, Margie singlehandedly made Reggio Emilia a household name and the Innovative School is a model of Reggio Emilia excellence.

On Friday, May 2 and Sunday, May 4, we will pay tribute to Margie with celebrations ranging from Shabbat to an Elana Arian concert.

But before that, we want to get you acquainted with “Miss Margie.”

Have a look below and read All About Margie! See you in May!
