Gifted & Talented School Presents Art Awards
Gym Shorts
By Jay Snyder - H & PE Director
It’s that time of year, when the leaves begin turning and
the evenings become a little bit cool.
When camp is over and the fall season begins,
and weVe just closed the outdoor pool.
Yes, the fall season is beginning and the kids come around
and the adults even join in the play.
You know that it’s time to put on your sneakers
and join in the fun at the “J.”
With Jeff Passe in the basketball league or Joanne Bigel on
the courts, there is always something fun here to do.
Such as Jackie Miron s stretch class or softball with Lee Katz
or fitness tips Andrea Jones recommends for you.
Our indoor pool is active with aerobics and swim classes
and David Levine thinks Miss Millie is neat.
And our fitness room is hopping with Marvin & Anita Shapiro
and our Health Clubs you just cannot beat.
So pamper yourselves with a massage or a schvitz
with nice people like Sandi Benjamin and Richie Weiner.
And youll know in a flash that the “J” is the place
and there’s no other place that is finer.
Congratulations to Richard
Bober on his fine accomplish
ments in the National Masters
swim meet where he won the
men’s 50, 100, and 200 back
stroke, and in the international
masters meet where he finished
second in each of the above
events. Congratulations also to
Andrew Coen for swimming his
personal best time in the state
Junior Olympics meet this
summer.
In closing, I regret to an
nounce that I will be leaving
Charlotte to work for the Jewish
Community Center of Rhode
Island. It is an excellent oppor
tunity for me professionally
although Amy, Cori and I will
truly miss being here in Char
lotte. You all have been a won
derful community to work with
and we wish you all the best.
Barry Hantman, JCC executive director,
announces the appointment of
Millie Campbell as H & PE Director.

Gifted & Talented Offers New Course
Calling all “Broadway Babies”
Jillian Goldberg, director of
the Gifted and Talented Devel
opment Center, is pleased to
announce a new program at the
Jewish Community Center,
commencing this Fall. “A
Child’s Garden of Songs” is a
semester long program of chil
dren’s music, offered in response
to the popularity of GTDC
summer camp “Broadway Ba
bies” course.
Instructor Deborah Brown,
recently from Canada, has
joined the GTDC as a full time
administrator and curriculum
specialist. Brown’s many ac
complishments include graduate
work and extensive teaching
experience in Fine Arts, certifi
cation from the Royal Conser
vatory of Music in Toronto, and
years of experience in piano
instruction and accompaniment.
The music program will focus
on traditional children’s songs
from England and America,
combining melodies and lyrics
with simple gestures and props.
The aim of the classes is to
introduce our busy, modern
children to some of the wonder
ful, timeless tunes from the days
of Music Hall and vaudeville
stage as well as Tin Pan Alley,
Broadway and Disneyland.
Classes will be limited to 15
children and early registration is
recommended to avoid disap
pointment as children are turned
away from the similar program
offered each summer. Register
by mail or at the Jewish Com-
Deborah Brown
