Chariotte Jewish
Day School
The Jewish Day School of Charlotte raised close to $900 at the
October 23 yard sale. Marci Goldberg, Janice Cantor, Lisa Kaufman,
Tanya Musler, Dana Gorelick, Rena Schneider, and Dale Click worked
very hard collecting, organizing and selling! Items not sold were do
nated to Temple Beth El for their annual attic sale. Proceeds from the
sale were used to replenish school supplies. Another yard sale is planned
for March.
The Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO) sponsored the Third An
nual Book Fair in early November. This year in addition to secular
books from Scholastic, and Judaic books from The Tree of Life, gift
shop items were available such as candles, dreidals, tapes and games.
Susan Rabinovich provided stained glass dreidals and Stars of David
for sale. Our Chanukah selection was hard to beat! The PTO netted
over $1,000 in profits. Gale Osbome and Lisa Shporer co-chaired the
event.
Parents are playing an increasing role in activities at the Jewish
Day School of Charlotte, Volunteer duties vary, but one thing is con
stant — the rewards are high! Jaynie Segal produced
a moving promotional video about the school; EUie
Valenstein, Lyba Rousso, Lisa Platock, Tanya
Musler for grandparents committee activities;
Steve Jampol for his efforts to get all comput
ers functional in the classrooms; Gail Sarret
and Scott Sutker for assisting the Finance com
mittee ~ investigating ways to reduce expenses; and
Susan Adelman for assisting with the Precare and Aftercare programs.
The Hot Lunch program is off to a record breaking start! Twice a
month children are given an opportunity to have a hot lunch at both the
day school and preschool campuses. However, this year, the response to
the program has been so tremendous, coordinators Carola Su'immer,
Adriana Epstein and Renee Sutker started planning Hot Lunch weeks!
Beginning in November, an entire school week has been selected for
Hot Lunch. The cost is minimal and the rewards high! The kids love
the meals, moms have less lunches to pack and the PTO makes good
profits!
DIAPER DAREDEVILS
by Sally WilliamS'Eariy Childhood Director
The Infant/Toddler Department of the JCC is trying something new
and exciting this year. Along with the help of Millie Campbell, Director
of Health & P.E. and Kevin Weatherford, Gym Specialist, we are able to
introduce our toddlers to different activities in the gym. This class ranges
in age from eleven months to eighteen months.
In the beginning they were unsure of the large room with bright
lights and toys (gym equipment) twice their size. Just three short weeks
into the program and the children have become Little Daredevils as
they develop their gross motor skills and balance. With the help of the
teachers and Millie, they receive a lot of one-on-one attention.
If you’re having a bad day and would like to be cheered up, visit the
JCC’s gym on Wednesday mornings around 10:00 a.m. and watch our
babies grow.

R E B O A R D

The Youth Soccer Teams are
tearing it up. The Under 10, 8 and
6 Teams are all at the top of their
respective divisions.
Youth Hoopsters is gearing up
for another fine season. We can’t
wait to see all of these young stars
in action.
The Adult Fall Racquetball
League is in the early part of its
season. One more division
crowned a champion: Ed
Stemborowski outlasted George
Cronson in the B’s, 10-15, 15-13,
and 11-7.
Adult Softball finally made it
through a wet season to reach the
playoffs. Royal and Green ended
up tied for the regular season title.
Final stats are in as well: Rich
Harris and Larry Brown combined
to dominate all categories, except
bases on balls, which Marty
Forcina won. Rich claimed the bat
ting title with a .773 avg. Howard
Glazer and Gene Marx tied for a
distant 2nd with .692 each. Rich
also ran away as the doubles leader
with 9 as Tim Garney and Ron
Dion hit 6. Larry took the triples
crown with 3. Rich and Larry then
took a share of the “tater title” with
2 round-trippers each. Rookie Phil
Berman also had a fine season,
placing 2nd or 3rd in nearly every
category.
Adult Basketball is in a high
scoring season with 6 players av
eraging over 20 points. Harry
Tepper leads the list with a 31.6
avg.

I had the good fortune of
attending The Council
for National Coop
eration in Aquatics
Conference in Octo
ber. The opening
speaker, Annie
Clement, Ph.D.
LT.D., made
some excellent
points:
Annie began by com
paring the past (1950) and
present. In the past, public schools
were judged by their pool facili
ties and swim programs. Partici
pation in swim lessons was
required for graduation and the
curriculum included safety and
survival.
In the present, we have in
creased our knowledge and incor
porated Biomechanics and Physics
as part of the curriculum. Aquatic
professionals were the first in the
recreation industry to create and
implement emergency action
plans.
It seems as though we are cur
rently waking a fine line between
soaking in the bath tub and
white water rafting. Fa
cilities are so protected
and the risks removed,
that people are encour
aged to participate in vari
ous aquatic activities
without having any swim
ming skills.
If you don’t know how
to swim - LEARN! The ma
jority of drownings occur
among people who don’t know
how to swim and were not plan
ning on being around the water. If
you know how to swim and are
planning to participate in physi
cally demanding aquatic activities
(boating, water skiing, rafting, ca
noeing etc.) TRAIN & CONDI
TION yourself!
