What better way for the chil
dren to learn about the Succoth
holiday than by helping to build
and decorate a Succah for their
own use.
In the days preceeding the
Succoth holiday the children in
all the Nursery School groups
had been learning about the
holiday through stories and
songs. Then they worked busily
to make colorful paper chains, to
cut fruit out of paper and to
make gay pictures.
One morning the children in
Mrs. Schwartz’s group: Rose
Blau, Leland Burke, Andrea
Cohen, Ricky Feinberg, Kathy
Freedman, Kenny Freedman,
David Frankel, Julie Kamrass,
Will Katz, Michael Krafchick,
Jill Kraft, Beth Marcus, Jeffrey
Meckler, David Minsk, Sandra
Renkin, Hilary Salzman, Dana
Shavin, Joyce Tenenbaum, Alan
Turry, Lenny Wasserman went
out to the play yard. There they
found a simple frame structure
open to the sky.
They helped pile some branch
es on the top. They tacked up
the chains and strings of pretend
fruit, and the pictures they had
made. Plans were made so that
each group could have the mid
morning snack in the Succah
during the week of the Succoth
holiday.
Learning about the holiday
took an added dimension for the
Nursery Schoolers through their
active participation in the pro
ject.
Today let’s swim with our In
termediates and swimmers class
and see what all they are work
ing on and what new skills they
will take up during this session.
Our main objective with these
classes are: First, to provide the
student with the opportunity to
learn the elements of good swim
ming. Second is to increase the
student’s endurance and versatil
ity in the water by providing op-
ixirtunities to coordinate the parts
of a stroke into whole strokes.
Skills that will be covered in
this course are: side strokes, front
crawl, elementary form of rescue,
diving and underwater swimming,
breaststroke, sculling, treading
water, floating, elementary back
stroke.
Members who are participating
in this activity are: Tammy May
er, Steve Rogin, Gilbert Sherr,
Joey Sherr, Lance Mendel, Carol
Tennenbaum, Cindy Kerker. This
course is still open to members
of the Center who would like
to participate. Classes are held
Thurs. 3:30-4:15 p. m.

“BREAK THE EAST”
A Break the Fast Dance for
