learned about Christianity
and was able to teach others
about my religion. The
Jewish population is very
small and very unknown.
To find another Jewish stu-
dent is really difficult.
There used to be a Jewish
student organization but it
dissolved because of a lack
of participation. Going to
Central and being Jewish
was a great challenge.
Campus highlights: The
local Jewish community is
very supportive and pro-
vides home hospitality for
holidays. ❑
First-Day Fears
At times, you hope it would nev-
er come. At others, it couldn't
come fast enough.
Now — for better or for worse
— Junior's first day at school is
fast approaching.
Sure, school will be a big ad-
justment for both you and your
child. But there are some ways
to make the transition into ele-
mentary academia a smooth
one. You might want to try some
of the following.
• Build a routine before the
first day. Begin by waking up
early a few weeks before school
starts, have breakfast and then

• Shop till you drop. A mini
shopping spree for supplies and
school apparel can boost your
child's enthusiasm. Tuck a spe-
cial snack or a reminder of home
in his backpack on the first day.
• Drop in and take a look. Be-
fore the first day, you and your
child should meet your child's
teacher, cruise the school facil-
ities and grounds and visit the
after-school program your child
will attend if you work.
• Be positive. Celebrate the
arrival of the first day of school
by counting down the days with
your child. Buy a storybook
about school that you can read
together and help him anticipate
the opportunities he'll have to
make new friends and learn new
things. ❑
