Great Neck native Elaine Wolf will speak at the Great Neck Library, located on 159 Bayview Avenue, at 2 p.m. on Monday, April 8. Wolf, the daughter of a German immigrant whose broth-er died in Auschwitz, is honored to give an author talk on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Known as “the anti-bullying novelist,” Wolf, the award-winning author of Camp and Danny’s Mom, writes about what really goes on behind the closed gates and doors of our camps and schools, where mean girls (and boys) practice bullying as if it were a sport. For her work in fi ghting the bullying epidemic, Wolf will be honored in May by Th e Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County as the recipient of its 2013 Community Upstander Award.

Camp is a coming-of-age story about bullying, Holocaust survivor guilt, and the collateral damage of family secrets. It was given “a perfect ten” by VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates), and it was named

a fi rst-place winner by the Forward

National Literature Award Committee. Camp appears on “Publishers Weekly Bullying Resources: A Selected Listing.” Booklist says Camp is “tough to stop reading…rings sadly true.”

Danny’s Mom is a novel about bullying, homophobia, and fi nding the strength and courage to do the right thing when faced with adversity.

A review in Th e Denver Post states: “You think only students have to deal with bullying and backstabbing in high school? Th ink again. Wolf’s heroine, a guidance counselor, fi ghts back.” Other reviewers say, “Wolf writes with insight and authority about an issue that society cannot aff ord to ignore” and call Danny’s Mom a “must-read” for everyone who cares about children and education.

What pleases the author more than good reviews, though, is that Camp and Danny’s Mom have given her a literal bully pulpit: a platform from which to keep the anti-bullying conversation going so that, in concert with profes-sionals in our communities, we will make our summer camps and schools kinder, gentler places for everyone.

For more information about Elaine Wolf and her novels, as well as for links to anti-bullying resources, visit the author’s website: authorelainewolf.com. For questions about this event, please contact Janet Schneider at the Great Neck Library: 516-466-8055. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

ANTON WEEKLY - ANTON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS - MARCH 29, 201316A

CAMPS & SCHOOLS

Dr. Ira Wolf, the president of PowerPrep and the author of several books including Barron’s best selling books on preparing for the PSAT and SAT, has been invited to give two free talks at Barnes & Noble in early April. Dr. Wolf will give these talks, entitled “Everything You Need to Know about the PSAT, SAT, and ACT,” at the Barnes & Noble store in Manhasset at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2 and at the Barnes & Noble store in Carle Place at 8:00 on Wednesday, April 3.

These talks are appropriate for the parents of all eighth-, ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade students, as well as for the students themselves. Please try to arrive early since Dr. Wolf’s talks last April were completely full.

The talks will be very helpful for juniors who will be taking the SAT this May and who want to know how to earn scores that are much higher than their PSAT scores (as well as for students who too the SAT in March and who may want to retake it to raise their scores). Unfortunately, nearly one-third of all juniors in the country earn SAT scores that are low-er than their PSAT scores; for those who improve, the average increase is

less than 40 points. By contrast, Dr. Wolf will give students advice that can help them raise their scores by 150 or 200 points, or more.

All sophomores and most freshmen will be taking the PSAT in October, and now is the time for them to learn exactly what the PSAT and SAT tests are all about and how and when to prepare for them. Dr. Wolf will also explain the role of SAT Subject Tests in the college admissions process, answering the questions: “Who should take these tests?”, “When should they be taken?”, and “How should students prepare for them?”

In addition, the talks will be very helpful for students who are consid-ering taking the ACT, an exam that is being taken by an increasing number of students on Long Island. Dr. Wolf will explain the difference between the ACT and SAT and give advice that will help students decide whether the ACT is appropriate for them. No student has to take the ACT, but all students who plan to take it, must prepare for it.

• What are SAT Subject Tests?SAT Subject Tests are 60-minute,

multiple-choice exams that test your knowledge in a variety of subjects.

• What is Score Choice?Score Choice is the College Board’s

policy of allowing students to take as many SAT Subject Tests as they want and reporting to colleges only those scores that they are happy with.

• Who should take SAT Subject Tests?Not all colleges require applicants

to submit SAT Subject Test scores, but all of the more competitive ones, and many less competitive ones, do. Since it is impossible for freshmen, sophomores, or even juniors to know with certainty that they will not need them for at least some of the colleges to which they will apply, most students, and surely all students who are in any honors-level courses, should plan to take at least a few. Even if some colleges you apply to don’t require Subject Tests, if you take any and do well you should still send them your scores.

• How many SAT Subject Tests should you take and when should you take them?

All colleges that require applicants to submit scores from Subject Tests require two. Most students, therefore, should plan to take tests in at least two subjects. However, because of Score Choice, many students take four, five, or even six tests and submit either their two best scores or more often all of their good scores. Typically, students take Subject Tests in June at the end of the year they study those subjects.

• Which Subject Tests should fresh-men, sophomores, and juniors take?

The list below, which is intended as a general guideline, indicates the tests that students can take each year. Note: you absolutely do not have to be taking an AP course to do extremely well on a Subject Test. In fact, last year more than half of the students in PowerPrep’s courses earned scores between 700 and 800, and except for a few of our history students none of them were in AP courses. If you have specific questions about which tests to take or when to take them, please call 516-484-4468 for free advice.

Freshmen: Ninth-graders almost never take more than one SAT

Subject Test. • Biology (or occasionally Physics)

for freshmen who have been accelerat-ed in science.

Sophomores: Tenth-graders typi-cally take one or two SAT subject tests.

• Math Level 1 for sophomores who are completing their third year of high school math.

• Biology or Chemistry for sopho-mores with good grades in science.

• World History for sophomores in honors Global Studies or an AP history course.

Juniors: There are several SAT Subject Tests that are appropriate for eleventh-graders.

• Math Level 1 for juniors who are in their third year of high school math.

• Math Level 2 is often the better choice for juniors who are in their fourth year of math (typically, a pre-cal-culus course). Call for advice on this.

• Biology, Chemistry, or Physics for juniors who have good grades in science.

• American History and Literature for juniors in honors or AP courses.

• Foreign Languages for students with excellent grades in honors-level courses.

• How can a PowerPrep course help me prepare?

The way that all the PSAT, SAT, and SAT Subject Tests are scored is totally different from the way any other exam is scored. As a result, it is imperative to learn the strategies that are unique to these tests. Of course, students in each of PowerPrep’s SAT Subject Test cours-es review the essential subject matter for that test; but equally important, they learn the critical test-taking tactics that can mean the difference between good scores and great scores.

On some SAT Subject Tests, you can leave out or miss as many as one-third of the questions and still earn a score over 700; answering only 85 percent of the questions correctly might be enough to get an 800! But you need to learn which questions to answer, which ones to omit, and which ones to guess at. PowerPrep can help you do that successfully.

• What if I still have questions?If you have any questions about

which tests to take, when to take them, or how to prepare for them, feel free to call PowerPrep anytime, at 484-4468.

Th is year marks the 60th anniver-sary of North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center. I wonder if its founders, a small group of parents, could have imagined in 1953 that six decades later the Guidance Center would be taking more than 100 calls a week from parents concerned about their children’s emotional well-being. Th e callers tell stories about children and teens who are troubled, in trouble or causing trouble. Handling their fi rst call sen-sitively is a hallmark of the Guidance Center. Th at fi rst person-to-person contact makes all the diff erence in whether a parent chooses to take the next step forward towards hope or retreats into a sense of despair.

In the early 1950s, the north shore communities of Long Island were experiencing rapid change. What was once a bucolic landscape peppered with small villages and large estates was being converted into a vast array of suburban devel-opments. Th e last remaining farms were leveled as roads. Housing developments and schools sudden-ly popped up, many clustered near the most prominent new roadway, the Long Island Expressway.

According to Bob Smith, who penned a refl ection on the fi rst 50 years of the Guidance Center, “In the beginning there were the par-ents; a generation of mostly young professionals and middle-class workers who had come of age in the great depression, been tempered

by the crucible of war, and then came marching home to an increasingly troubled urban environment. These young men and women came to the suburbs in search of a safer, healthier place to raise their children.” The new residents had come with little children or the expectation of children. They came as a single generation, not as an extended family. The priority of the suburbs became raising children.

The Guidance Center’s beginnings were rooted in a community-based model, where progressive-minded suburban activists organized to establish a children’s mental health clinic for members of the community in need of such services. The mes-sage to new suburbanites was that, despite their relocation into more affluent communities, mental health problems were not confined to the underprivileged and poor.

Smith recalled that the founders, “made it understood that the oft repeated remark – ‘wherever you go – there you are’ was, in fact, true; that the need for services crossed financial, educational, ethnic and class barriers. And that the suburban environment, because of its isolation, might even be more stressful for these young families than the urban

environment might have been, with its close-knit neighborhoods and extended families for support.” This remains true today, despite dramatic changes in the intervening years.

Sixty years later, we are blessed to have modern technological innovations such as the Internet and cell phones that provide us with the capacity to make connections any-where and anytime. Yet, instant access and social media are no replacements for more intimate face-to-face interaction, the essential medium of a community-based agency.

The 100-plus calls we receive every week tell different stories, yet are sim-ilar with characteristics of demoral-ization such as a sense of helplessness and hopelessness, inability to cope, self-blame, feelings of worthlessness and a sense of alienation. Perhaps the most enduring quality of the Guidance Center, over 60 years, is its ability to connect with struggling families of all backgrounds, up close and personal, and to instill hope and restore morale.

Happy 60th Anniversary North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center!

Andrew Malekoff is the Executive Director of North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center.

Parents who want to know more about the entire testing process, how these tests have changed, and what they can do to help their children prepare are encouraged to attend, whether or not their children can join them.

Th e talk will also cover a few of the most important test-taking strategies that Dr. Wolf covers in his books and that are taught to the students in PowerPrep’s courses. He will explain why learning these tactics is essential for anyone who wants to achieve his or her maximum potential on the PSAT, SAT, or ACT, and how students who master these strategies can raise

their scores by hundreds of points. Each talk will include a ques-

tion-and-answer session covering all aspects of test preparation. In addition, Dr. Wolf will remain after the talks to answer questions individ-ually. Th is is an excellent opportunity for all high school students and their parents to get valuable information about these important tests.

Dr. Wolf, a nationally-known ex-pert in test preparation, is the found-er of PowerPrep, Inc., a company that helps students prepare for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and SAT Subject Tests. For additional information about these talks or about PowerPrep courses, call Dr. Wolf at (516) 484-4468.

Alec Urbach, a fi lm student at the Long Island High School for the Arts and a senior at Roslyn High School, was named a Distinguished Finalist in the national 2013 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program. Alec is one of only eight students in New York State to be chosen for the award, which hon-ors young people for outstanding acts of volunteer-ism and impres-sive community service activities.

Alec earned the award for his global educa-tion efforts, for which he founded the nonprofit organization Giving From the Ground Up in 2009, to help educate students in Africa. With the help of his teachers, Alec methodically developed his own curriculum to teach basic math, science and hygiene. He approached his lessons through his most beloved medium, in this case, film. He be-gan with rudimentary animations, crafting his scripts from American lesson plans, but his work quickly evolved.

Now, Alec’s characters Finnius Fox and Patty the Hummingbird are

helping children in developing na-tions to better understand their les-sons. Giving From the Ground Up is now Alec’s Animated Schoolhouse and has a volunteer core 500 strong in several nations including Ghana, Botswana and Togo. His videos reach nearly a quarter of a million

students, with plans to expand to South America.

“You are an exempla-ry role model for your peers,” wrote Prudential chairman and CEO John Strangfeld in a letter to Alec. “Thank you for your inspiring commitment to serving your community. Contributions

like yours make our communities and our entire nation stronger. We salute you.”

“It’s a real honor for me to be recognized for my eff orts at eff ecting positive change,” said Alec. “Everyone has their own, innate ability to make the world a better place. My path is through improving education. Th ere’s a real barrier to literacy for these children. I’m working to help them break through it.”

On Saturday, April 13, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. the Portledge School and the Cradle of Aviation will co-sponsor the third annual Create Something Great Recycled Sculpture Contest. This contest is a hands-on learning experience for young artists across Long Island to pique their curiosity about transportation by air, land or sea. Students are encouraged to build sculptures designed around the theme of transporta-tion, such as cars, boats, trains, submarines and space craft made out of recycled and/or reusable materials.

Award winners will be an-nounced in three assigned age cat-egories based on overall aesthetic value and creative use of recycled materials. All participants in attendance will be recognized and

receive a certificate. Instructors from the Cradle of Aviation and Portledge Summer Adventures will host interactive workshops including make your own rockets, how things fly, living in space, eyes on earth, weather to fly by, Legos, and woodworking. The new Portledge Planetarium will also be open for visitors.

Afterwards, award-winning sculptures will be transported to the Cradle of Aviation for a mini exhibition open to the public from April 15 through April 20.

This event is free and open to the public. Details about the contest and information about the recep-tion are available at www.portledge.org/createsomethinggreat.

The Portledge School is located at 355 Duck Pond Rd, Locust Valley.
