I am writing a response to the question asked about guest speakers. I think this will be good preparation for us high schoolers and expose us to some kids who not only balance their Judaism with school, but also play a collegiate level sport. Living near Michigan State University, I know there is one guy who plays football for them and is Jewish, but I am not quite sure how many other Jewish atletes there are. I am also not aware of how regularly he practices his Judaism. I'll be sure to let everyone know how this event turns out.
Lets get some great new game ideas for elementary school aged children coming in.
Using the powerful tools of the theatre, E.P.R.T will tear down walls and build bridges structured with communication while encouraging self esteem. E.P.R.T. believes communication is the most powerful tool we as a community can possess. However we are faced with record breaking high school drop out rates. Drug and alcohol use has escalated to epidemic proportions, violence amongst youth has made prisons of virtually all communities, while the suicide rate continues to climb with more successful attempts every year. We must encourage our precious youth to communicate, not only with parents, teachers and counsellors, but also with one another as peers.
