SCENES FROM THE JCC CHANUKAH EXTRAVAGANZA

FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK...
Dear Members,
2020 has arrived and the most popular New Year’s resolution is to get healthy! A top priority of the JCC is to
enhance physical and mental well-being and we will continue to offer new programs and improve our well-ness facilities for you. We have many programs in the works this year to help make your workout experience
better than ever.
It takes enthusiasm, time, and energy of many people to create , and at times oversee the events, programs,
and even fiscal and physical responsibilities of the JCC. I feel it is very important to personally and publicly thank our 2019 Program & Committee Chairs & other key individuals and organizations who help make the
JCC a very special place. Special thanks to the following people:
Leah Laury for chairing the JCC’s 2019 Chanukah Extravaganza.
Jay Rosenstein, David Rudis, Tim O’Brien & Committee for leading & chairing the JCC Eugene & Dorothy Rosenstein

bers.
Carol Leventhal for chairing our popular Activage group, and for leading the JCC’s annual Project Joy.
Douglas Fink for chairing the JCC investment Committee so that the JCC has a secure, healthy financial future.

economically sound decisions on building repairs, upgrades & improvements.
Esther Adelman for chairing the JCC’s Yom Hashoah program which once again had a powerful impact on those who
attended.
Jessica Johnson for chairing the JCC “K-9 Day at the J” event and Dr. Dan Ginsberg for chairing the JCC Art & Memora-
bilia Auction.

dation, Foundation for the Jewish Elderly of Eastern PA, Schwartz-Mack Foundation, Moses Taylor Foundation, The Robert Spitz Foundation & the NEPA Healthcare Foundation for their generous grant support to the JCC and its programs.
The chairs of our valuable scholarship committees that help fund those in financial need to attend JCC programs: Bon-
nie & Ken Green, Alan Glassman, Jaime Tepper, Robbie Gelb, Steven Weinberger & Harlene Arenberg.
To all the valuable members of the various JCC working committees (Finance, Investment, Building & Grounds, Audit,
Phys Ed, Legal, Membership, Nominating, Marketing, Golf Tournament, Early Childhood, Chronic Disease Wellness, Children
& Youth, Teens, Day Camp, Activage, Senior Adult Club, Yom Hashoah, Arenberg, Tepper Education, Glassman Youth Leader-ship, Weinberger Education).
Our JCC officers Harris Cutler, Ann Monsky, Jennifer Novak, Andrew Weinberger, Janice Cutler and the JCC general
board of directors for their dedication and commitment to out facility and mission.
Of course the list is too long to name everyone, and I apologize if I am missing anyone. All in all, the JCC would not be possi-
ble without the support of so many. Kol Hakavod (Hebrew for “all the honor to you”) to all our JCC staff and volunteers for continuing to make the Jewish Community Center of Scranton the special place that it is. Best wishes for 2020!

EARLY LEARNING
JCC Pre-School For children 3-5 years At the JCC Pre-School we view each child as unique, with an indi-vidual growth and developmental pattern. Different levels of ability and learning styles are expected, accept-ed and used to design age appropriate activities. Our goal is to
meet each child’s needs and stimulate learning in all developmental areas: ~ Social – give and take in a group environment ~ Intellectual – cognitive & language skills ~ Emotional – developing a positive self-image ~ Physical – large, small and perceptual mo-tor skills ~ Cultural & Educational– foster awareness & respect for all religions & for Judaism through Sabbath & holiday celebrations Our developmentally based curriculum sup-ports and encourages a young child’s natural way of learning, while fostering an under-standing of basic concepts on which future learning depends. Weekly gym classes and swimming are also part of the overall program. Our Pre-School Assets A developmentally based, two-year, multi-age pre-school program which is play centered. Play is considered to be a central focus in the development of young children. College-educated, experi-enced early childhood educators who love children, their warm concern will come through as they provide feedback about your child’s progress.
ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO ENROLL!

PROJECT JOY
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM OUR
PROJECT JOY CHAIRPERSON, CAROL LEVENTHAL...
Thank you so much for remembering Project Joy this year in such a generous way. Our wonderful project has grown so much that we moved to the large JCC auditorium to gift wrap our gifts this year. Over 150 children received amazing gifts thanks to you keeping Project Joy as a priority during this holiday season. For many of these children, these gifts could be the only ones that will be given to them.
Many local organizations such as St. Joseph Center, Lackawanna Children & Youth, Catherine McCauley Center, Jewish Fam-ily Services, and Children’s Advocacy received toys, books, clothes beautifully wrapped by our volunteers as well as dental toothbrush/toothpaste, and floss kits. Jewish Family Services received multiple toys and gift cards for over fifty children of all ages.
The children and their parents in the pediatric departments of our local hospitals were especially touched when we person-ally visited them and presented their children with holiday gifts and get well wishes.
