The News - December, 1994-Page 17 jS jS n The Jewish Community Center j3 S M 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. SCO R E B O A R D by Paul Denny • Athletic Director 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. Get Wet 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! The JCC Announces: The first meeting of the Yid dish Club met on Oct. 13, 1994. We hope to have more people join this group. Rose Luski is helping to get the group organized and fo cused. The schedule of meetings Is: November 10 and December 8, 1994, January 12, February 9, March 9, April 13, May 11, 1995.
