Levin Jewish Middle Makes Plans for
Grand Opening
The Barbara and Jerry Levin
Jewish Middle School will open in
August of 2002. Its initial enroll
ment is expected to be approxi
mately twelve students in a com
bined grade six-seven.
The Levins have endowed this
new Jewish school with an initial
grant of $250,000. They are estab
lishing the school as a response to
parents who want day school edu
cation to go beyond the fifth grade.
Since Charlotte Jewish Day School
is not equipped to address this
need, the new middle school will
function as an independent entity.
While the middle school does
not yet have classroom space, there
is a concerted effort underway to
procure space in the Shalom Park
area. Proximity to Charlotte Jewish
Day School will allow for sharing
of some teachers and extra-curricu
lar activities.
In both Judaic and secular stud
ies the school will be committed to
the highest level of state-of-the-art
educational programs. The middle
school will be modeled after the
very successful Charlotte Jewish
Day School, which has built a rep
utation for developing well educat
ed children who are proud and
knowledgeable Jews.
Middle School students who
have not attended CJDS can be
integrated into the Levin School.
As plans materialize, they MiiW
be publicized in The Charlotte
Jewish News.
For further information, call
Jody Molinari, chairman of the
board, at 704-364-9448.
