On Wednesday, August 29, Allentown’s Reform Synagogue, Temple Shirat Shalom, presented two carloads of school supplies to the teachers and 365 students of Cleveland School in downtown Allentown. According to the Principal, Mr. Robert Wheeler, over 90% of the students are from homes of poverty and some are homeless. The program, “Tools for Schools,” was adopted by the one-year-old Congregation and headed by Dr. Cheryl Shadick and Dr. Norman Sarachek. Pencil boxes, file folders, markers, colored pencil sets, dry erase boards for classroom learning centers, an emergency supply of backpacks, hand sanitizer and even boxes of award stickers for the teachers to use to encourage learning were delivered. The teachers eagerly look forward to using them in the coming year. Temple Shirat Shalom and Cleveland School thanks those who generously supported this effort, and hope these materials help the students get off to a great year of learning.
