“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before
starting to improve the world.” -Anne Frank
Anne Frank - A
History for Today: A Lesson for Tomorrow
Presented by the Barshop
Jewish Community Center
In Collaboration with the Holocaust
Memorial of San Antonio and the Jewish
Federation of San Antonio
Feb. 1-Feb. 27, 2009
More than 65 years ago, a young girl was forced into hiding.
She saw a government try to obliterate her family, her neighborhood,
and her people. Now, for the first time in San Antonio, this
exhibit will take you on a journey into the past. Anne Frank: A
History for Today will take you through the pages of her personal
diary, interwoven with historical facts and photographs.
Anne Frank: A History for Today juxtaposes photographs of the Frank
family with those of historical events of the time and shows how
persecuted people such as the Franks were affected by political
decisions and by the actions of individuals.
Anne Frank: A History for Today was developed by the Anne Frank
House and is sponsored in North America by the
Anne Frank Center, USA (New
York City). A wide array of
programming will accompany the exhibit during its stay in San
Antonio.
A special 90-minute program, including a guided tour of the Anne
Frank exhibit, the Holocaust Memorial Museum and a guest presentation,
is offered to
groups and schools. This program must be reserved in advance. For
more information, contact Rachel
Rustin at (210) 302-6951.
The Anne Frank committee is looking for
volunteers to assist with giving tours and many other facets of
the exhibit.

We always dream big at the Magik Theatre, especially when it comes
to arts education for young people. It has always been our dream
to turn our Academy into a conservatory, a place where children of all
ages could come, be trained by our professional staff, and learn every
aspect of theatre. This year our Academy will begin to take steps to
make that happen. We’re offering a full schedule of classes which will
start with young actors and actresses to be and include people of all
ages. Our goal is to give our students the tools to be creative
adults who know how to think out of the box and come up with
innovative solutions whatever work they do, be it in the arts,
business, science, computers, or any other field of work they choose
to follow. We hope that within a year or two that we will have a
second space with classrooms and a theatre which will used to produce
plays by our students and present other young performing groups from
theatres all over the country. Imagine that - a theatre under
the leadership of professional artists, run by young people,
expressing their ideas, hopes, fears, and dreams, fueled by classrooms
and studios where students study the creative process acting, voice,
dance, film, puppetry, set design, construction, and painting,
lighting, and any other theatrical skills they need.
The
Academy will be taught by our Professional staff all of whom know how
to teach and how to play. If you’re looking for an affordable, quality
arts education for your child, call and register now. The Magik
Theatre is a working professional theatre where young people of all
ages can dream and create together with new friends that they meet at
The Magik Academy. - Richard Rosen/Executive Director

The SA-HERO Geo Bee is much lower stress than a traditional
spelling bee. All the contestants will be sitting around a table.
There are six rounds where everyone answers a question. The
contestants do not have to stand up to answer the question and there
is no leaving the stage if they get them wrong. Half the questions are
some form of multiple choice! If your child might be interested in
competing, this is the time to try it!
HERO will be holding its annual Geo Bee on Tuesday, January 13,
1:30 pm at the Semmes Branch library. There is no fee to compete! The
competition is open to students in grades four through eight who are
not over the age of 15 by the time of the national level. Registration
is on a first come, first served basis. To register, send an email to
hmschoolsa@gmail.com with the following information:

ENGLISH COUNTRY DANCING Happens once a month, the first
Saturday of the month, 7:30 pm at Incarnate Word Univ next to
Central Market. The dances are partner dances done in a long line
of couples, as seen in the latest Pride and Prejudice movie. There
is no footwork or steps to learn, the couples dance figures that
move them up and down the line. It is a great activity for the
whole family. Suggested donation for adults is $2.00, and kids are
always free. From Broadway, enter the driveway across from Denny's
and follow the signs back to the Garden Room.
INTERNATIONAL DANCING Takes place every Friday at Lions
Field Rec Center, 2809 Broadway (at Mulberry) Yes it is a senior
center, but young people are invited for international dancing on
Fridays, 7:30 pm. These dances are easy and mostly line or circle
dances from countries like Romania, Greece, Israel, and France, among
others. The dances and music are traditional, we learned them from
dance teachers from the respective countries. So it's a great
opportunity to learn about other cultures, choose an activity that
provides some exercise, and suitable for the whole family, because
there's no smoking or alcohol here! Kids come free, and for adults
$2.00 suggested donation. Wear comfortable, sensible shoes, and casual
clothes.
The Home School group is open to all ages and grade levels. It
is recommended that children be able to swim at least one length
of a 25 yard pool to enroll. Instruction is designed to
accommodate a variety of swim abilities. The Wave Home School
program is geared toward helping Home Schoolers fulfill their PE
requirement, while becoming water safe, better swimmers and having
fun at the same time.
The group trains at the Alamo Heights High School (6900 Broadway)
on Monday, Wed. and Friday at 1:15 pm. Your children can attend any or
all of those 3 days that work best. Home School swimmers may compete
at the weekend meets, if desired. By participating in an early
afternoon practice, the evening hours belong to your family. Please
call Coach Susan, for try-out information: 210-488-1923.
