Public Education

Great mornings keep
coming with the rich flavor
of Maxwell House Coffee
and the delicious tastes
of Post Cereals.

Last May, Dr. Kenneth Burnley, Detroit
Public Schools superintendent, issued a
challenge to the newly formed Jewish
Coalition for Public Education.
"Detroit does not exist in a vacuum,"
he said. "What happens in Detroit
affects Oakland County. With your
help, our kids can make it."
A $50,000 grant from CVS
Pharmacies will help the Jewish
Community Council act on Burnley's
words. It will fund the first year of the
JCCouncil's new Public Education
Initiative (PEI). The PEI will initiate
new services to public schools in Detroit
and elsewhere, while assisting the
JCCouncil-run Detroit Jewish Coalition
for Literacy, a school tutoring program.
The newly hired PEI coordinator is
Barbara Schiller of West Bloomfield.
In addition to tutoring, Schiller sug-
gested that organizations "adopt" a
school, providing tangible help, such as
school kits for elementary students,
graduation gifts and scholarships. School
and neighborhood clean-ups are another
possibility. "The idea is for volunteers to
`give back' to the neighborhoods they
came from," Schiller said.
She will also assist the JCCouncil's
Detroit Jewish Coalition for Literacy in
organizing more volunteers for its tutor-
ing projects. Now in its fourth year, the
Coalition for Literacy recruits, organizes
and trains members of Jewish organiza-
tions to work with children in Detroit
and other local school districts.
Volunteers also collect books for the
children they tutor. Phyllis Jarvis,
Coalition for Literacy coordinator, said
the group just received 1,000 new copies
of the children's book Sharing Grandma's
Gifi-s by Shelley Berlin Parrish to distrib-
ute to children in its programs.
New sources of volunteers include the
Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit in Oak Park; the
Jewish News in Southfield; Spottie's
Club, an organization formed in memo-
r>, of 20-year-old Lindsey Ann Shapiro,
whose life was cut short last year in a car
accident; and the Jewish Parents
Institute, which holds classes at the West
Bloomfield JCC.

The Detroit Jewish Coalition for
Literacy will train volunteers 4 - 6 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Max M.
Fisher Building, Bloomfield Township.
Cali Phyllis Jarvis, (248) 642- 5393.
