Have you ever been curious about the past lives of the Milken Hebrew department?
Well, look no further! The Roar is going back in time to uncover the past lives of the Milken Hebrew teachers. We have conducted in-depth investigations and have come to the conclusion that the Milken Hebrew department was previously known as “Sharon and The Giverets.” The findings may initially come as a shock to many: they went on world tours, sold over one million copies of their hit album “Balagan” and have won 4 MTV Europe Music Award for the Best Israeli Act. The Roar sat down with the former girl band members to discuss their greatest achievements, and why they left that all behind to come teach at Milken Community Schools.
