Two San Diego Jewish Academy students, Mario Modiano and Ava Woolf, have been selected as finalists in the “2025 Shorashim – My Family Story” project.
The meaningful international initiative, led by ANU – Museum of the Jewish People, encourages students to explore and creatively present their unique family histories. Mario’s and Ava’s thoughtful projects stood out among hundreds of entries from across North America, earning them a spot as finalists in this year’s competition, according to a news release.
“We are so proud of their achievement and the heart, research, and creativity they put into their work,” said Shani Abed, Head of Lower School at SDJA, in the news release. “Mazal Tov to Mario and Ava—and to their families and teachers who ed them along the way.”
