Twenty-seven students from the
Fowler Street Elementary School
and an equal number of teenage
volunteer tutors recently completed
an enjoyable and educational day
camp experience at the Atlanta
Jewish Community Center. The
two-week program was coordinated
through the Atlanta Public School’s
Adopt-A-School progrant under
the sponsorship of the Atlanta Jew
ish Federation.
Tutors and students worked to
gether on a one-to-one basis to
improve reading and math skills
before the start of the school year.
Jacqueline King, a graduate stu
dent at Georgia State University’s
College of Education planned and
supervised the academic sessions.
In addition, participants received
instruction in swimming, arts and
crafts, music and baking. An under-
sts ding and appreciation for dif
ferent backgrounds also developed
among the students and tutors as a
result of the cultural exchange
which took place during the program.
The Urban Affairs Subcommit
tee of Federation’s Community Re
lations Committee was responsible
for the design and development of
this program.
David Minkin, CRC chairman,
said, “A great deal can be said
about this program, but one impor
tant fact was the extraordinary
display of inter-agency cooperation
in helping to make this program a
success. The Atlanta Bureau of
Jewish Education provided tech
nical assistance during the devel
opment of the curriculum. The
Atlanta Jewish Community Cen
ter provided the facilities and staff
support. B’nai B’rith Youth Organi
zation played a major role in the
recruitment of the tutors. The Jewish
Home provided all the food—lunch
and snacks. Yeshiva High School
graciously allowed us to use their
classrooms for the program.
“In addition, Georgia State Uni
versity’s College of Education and
School of Art and Design provided
invaluable assistance in the instruc
tion of the students. Finally, sev
eral talented individuals from the
community volunteered to provide
swimming instruction, aerobics, arts
and crafts, and baking to round
out the two weeks of activities.
Truly this was a communal effort,
and everyone benefited as a result.”
Larry Lowenstein, public in
formation officer for Atlanta Pub
lic Schools and chairman of the
Urban Affairs Subcommittee,
added, “It is gratifying to know
how beneficial this program has
been, not only to the children who
participated—and, indeed, the bene
fits have been considerable—but
also to Fowler Street Elemenatry
School. There is a feeling of
pride among students, teachers,
and parents, and everyone is look
ing forward to Federation’s pro
gram next year.”
Plans are already underway to
repeat and expand the program
next summer. The success of this
program has sparked investigation
by the Federation’s Community
Relations Committee into other
areas of possible involvement in
community service projects.

pated in the program include: Jen
