2nd, 10am-12:30pm LJCC Butterfly Project -$5 per participant

The Levine JCC’s Butterfly Project Workshops are interactive sessions focused on teaching the lessons of the Holocaust – how to identify and combat prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination, and to promote activism. The goal of the Levine JCC’s Butterfly Project is to teach each participant to remember the past, to act responsibly in the present and to create a more peaceful future.

• The 2 ½ hour workshop includes:

  • listening to a Holocaust survivor’s story, followed by Q&A.

  • an interactive multimedia exercise using the Anti-Defamation League’s Pyramid of Hate, during which students examine what can happen when individuals and governments fail to respect and protect all people

  • painting a ceramic butterfly in memory of a specific child who perished in the Holocaust

  • a discussion in the Margaret and Lou Schwartz Butterfly Garden, while viewing the Holocaust Memorial.

Registration is required for anyone wanting to paint a butterfly:  https://www.charlottejcc.org/events/2023/10/02/butterfly-project-workshop/ljcc-butterfly-project-homeschool-workshop/

27th, 10am Service Project at Steven's Creek Nature Preserve

Our middle schoolers (grades 5 and up) are invited to help us cut some elaeagnus (invasive silverberry) to protect the Nature Preserve! We did this as part of our class in the Spring and the kids enjoyed it so much it is now a service project. You can bring your own long-handled pruners and gloves or they will be provided. Families are welcome, but little ones will need to help with non-cutting activities. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy a hike while you're here.
