AQUATICS SPOTLIGHT: CHARLIE, LIZZIE & MADDIE
Sisters Charlie, Lizzie and Maddie have taken swim lessons at the JCC since they were six months old. “They’ve always loved their swim instructors and the attention they get during lessons," says mom Tonia.
Big sister Maddie, 7, is on the Sea Serpents Swim Team. “She loves it all,” Tonia says. “Doing the Butterfl y, diving, swimming down into the deep end, all the games.”
Tonia appreciates the way JCC swim instructors really get to know each child. “They’ve always adjusted their approach for each child to help with their comfort in the water and progression of learning to swim. II also like that the lessons and swim team are made to be fun, while still having a focus on improvement. I’d recommend swimming at the JCC to anyone.”

Rachel Perrella has been a JCC member for more than 15 years. “I originally joined to give my kids a place to go, especially in the summer, and then I started taking fi tness classes. I was thrilled when DancEnergy came to the JCC. Right now my favorite classes are DancEnergy, conditioning classes and Spinning. I can only come early in the morning because I work. I like the variety of classes I can take even at that early hour.”
Rachel appreciates the expertise of the fi tness staff. “They are all quited skilled at what they do. They’re professional, personable and they make the classes fun and interesting. I always feel safe in their hands – they teach in a way that challenges you, but they don’t force you to risk injuries.”

JCC Preschooler Andrew Wetmore made headlines when he and his mom started a drive to collect blankets for the homeless. “I want everyone to be warm, just like I am,” said Andrew. “It makes my heart happy to help others.”
Mom Jill Simmons Wetmore says Andrew has learned a lot about helping people and doing good deeds from his preschool teachers here at the JCC. His classroom delivers food to the Family Table Food Pantry in Marblehead and even helps stock the shelves! “We talk a lot about Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world,” says Early Childhood Director Stephanie Walsh. “It’s wonderful that children are bringing that message home and into the community.”

Technology & Kids
Technology is everywhere today and our children are exposed to TV, computers, iPads and iPhones at a very young age. Our challenge as parents is to help our kids benefi t from high-tech tools while making sure they have plenty of time for interactive play, hands-on-activities and gross motor learning. Time with technology needs to be monitored and limited, but here are some pros to letting your kids go high-tech…
1. Teaches cause & effect: Young children love when they can touch a screen and it sings or reacts to them. They can learn colors, letters and more.
2. Helps develop fine motor skills: Learning to navigate a mouse can get toddler hands moving and support eye-hand coordination.
3. It’s a learning tool - There are many apps that teach and entertain. As your children grow, they can research almost any topic and get specific details to learn more.
4. It’s interactive – High-tech devices can teach children to explore and problem solve.
Our children live in an increasingly technological world and they will need high-tech skills. Many experts believe kids who are computer-savvy early on are better prepared for school.

Brad York has been a J member since his preschool days at the old JCC in Lynn. Now, he works out here six days a week, is on the Board of Directors and is leading a revival of Adult Programming.
“The JCC is a unique place for our community to come together to learn and grow,” Brad said. “We know there’s a great appetite from our adult members to hear interesting speakers on a full range of both Jewish and community-wide topics and our programs are always open to everyone.”
Brad is looking forward to a compelling spring line-up of speakers and events, including the North Shore International Jewish Film Festival this May.
