P. O. Corner
Gelt Program
The P.O. is pleased to introduce the gift card "Gelt program" to our families. Faculty and staff who buy Gelt will help to support programs provided for the school by the P.O. This program is designed to help families earn money toward their children's junior year Panim program and/or the Senior Israel Experience. The program is a passive earning system, in which you buy the things you ordinarily purchase anyway and earn money which will be credited to your family for designated school trips. If you have any questions, contact Kim Frankel 847.373.1183 kfrankel0721@gmail.com or Sarah Budweg 847.710.1740 sbudweg13@aol.com.

Spring Sports
 Men's tennis finished the season strong against Niles North High School as they tied the match 2-2. Unfortunatley, the match against Northridge Prep was cancelled and will probably not be rescheduled. The tennis team will miss seniors Jacob Rabinowitz, Leo Spornstarr, Matthew Levin, and Eli Mogul. Thanks to new coach Christi Turdo for making this a memorable season.
 Women's soccer had two games this week. Monday at Cristo Rey, the team tied 2-2. On Wednesday, the team played hard in its final match of the season in the IHSA tournament against a very experienced Willows Academy team. The team wishes to think its new coach, P.J. Eagle, foudning coach Gina Cohen, and assistant coach, freshman Michael Jacobson.  The men's volleyball team lost a close game this week against Northtown Academy in a tiebreaker game. Both the Varsity and JV teams took on Westminister Christian yesterday, and the teams play Monday against Cristo Rey in their regular season final game. Men's volleyball will be taking a break for the summer. Next fall, come support our volleyball varsity team as they take on Stevenson in the opening round of the IHSA tournament on November 24!  The seventh annual spring sports awards banquet will be held Tuesday, May 25 for all students during an all-school assembly. A sports year-in-review slide show, awards presentations, guest speaker, and special presentation will be the highlights. Yasher koach and godspeed to Assistant Athletic Director Matthew Levin, CJHS Class of 2010, who will be starting his freshman year at Boston University this fall.

Alumni Trivia
 Laser physicist Dr. Ronald McNair was the first in his family to attend college, and the second African-American to rise into space. His death aboard the ill-fated Challenger in 1986 was an American tragedy, but his legacy lives on through his support of hundreds of aspiring doctoral students of diverse backgrounds. Which Argentinian-American alumna has just been awarded a Congressional McNair scholarship to aid her in her pursuit of her PhD in psychology? |
