Special to The Advocate At 4 p.m. on a Monday, 22 kids, ages 4 to 13, gather in the All Souls Episcopal Church and Community Center in the Lower 9th Ward. Their voices echo out in unison. “I pledge to give my best at all times. I pledge to be great. I am beautiful and smart. I am a leader. I love my city, and I love All Souls. We are one family. Thank you, God, for my family and supporters,” and here they all pause for a moment before calling out enthusiastically, “because I am
going to college!” This is the pledge of the Scholar Success After-School Program, created by All Souls Episcopal Church with a very specific goal. “Study after study has proved that the after-school hours — around 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. — are the time where young people are most likely to get into trouble with things like gangs, drugs and violence,” said All Souls’ Rev. Edward Thompson. “So our goal from the beginning has been to provide a safe haven — a äSee LEARNING, page 2G
The sixth annual “Sipping with Santa” food drive and holiday celebration, which benefits the Kenner Food Bank, will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Dec. 1 at Chateau Golf and Country Club, 3600 Chateau Blvd., Kenner. The event features refreshments, hors d’oeuvres, music from Eric “Dr. Disco” Miller, photographs with Santa Claus and a Santa’s Secret Village, where those attending can shop for jewelry, artwork, clothing and other gift items. There also will be door prizes, a silent auction, a live auction and raffles. Some of the auction items include jewelry, dinners at local restaurants, hotel stays, framed artwork and clothing for children. “The Kenner Food Bank provides food for a little more than 1,250 families each month,” said Janet Wastsky, an event volunteer. “Requests are coming from many new families who previously were self-sufficient. Typically, there is a decline in donations in December, so keeping the shelves stocked is so important. We want to provide a complete holiday meal to families this holiday season. The funds raised from this event will help keep the food bank open and the shelves stocked.” Tickets are $35 per person, and those attending are asked to bring nonperishable food items to donate to the food bank. For tickets and more information, call (504) 467-1351 visit www.chateaugcc.com.

St. John team chosen to speak at conference Tanya Faucheux and Bonnie Dinvaut have been chosen as presenters for the 31st annual Louisiana Association of Computer-Using Educators conference. Faucheux is St. John the Baptist Parish Public School District’s technology facilitator, and Dinvaut is the district’s coordinator RIVER of educational VIEWS technology. LORI LYONS It is the sixth consecutive year the two have been chosen to present at the conference, which will be held Dec. 7-9 in New Orleans. This year’s topic will be “How Can I Close the Gap? Where am I Going? ... Keep Calm and Use Formative
Assessment.” “We will be showing them an assessment we use to develop instruction and resources to fill in gaps that may have been missed and how this helps differentiate instruction in the classroom,” Dinvaut said. The process, incorporating Renaissance Learning software, has been used successfully in the St. John the Baptist Parish School District for three years. “With our teachers successfully intervening to fill those gap skills, we’ve seen an increase in individual student achievement,” Faucheux said. “It makes an individual prescription plan for each student, and we are able to meet them where they are, because each student is different.” The presentation has earned the two the designation of Re-
naissance Distinguished Educators, which is given to those serving as a source of inspiration and support to help other educators achieve student growth. LACUE is a professional nonprofit organization that recognizes and promotes the use of computers in education. Last year’s conference brought together more than 2,000 teachers, teacher educators, administrators, policymakers and industry representatives from all over Louisiana, as well as the United States.

Stained-glass window honors K of C founder Advocate staff report A stained-glass window has been installed at St. Francis Xavier Church in Metairie depicting Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus. The window was donated by the Knights of Columbus, Msgr. Henry C. Bezou Council #8546, based at St. Francis Xavier. Council No. 8546 Grand Knight Rick Redmann described McGivney as an American-born priest, the eldest of 13 children of Irish immigrant parents, who founded the Knights of Columbus as a mutual aid society in 1882. New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Aymond blessed the window Oct. 18, accompanied by
pastor Msgr. Andrew Taormina and attended by deacons Arthur Kingsmill and Robert Normand. “We believe this is only the fourth window dedicated to Father McGivney in the United States,” Redmann said, listing three others at St. John Fisher Seminary in Stamford, Connecticut; Holy Family Church in South Ogden, Utah; and the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. Several ranking Knights of Columbus from across the state attended the service, including Sir Knight Russell Ruh, vice supreme master of the 4th Degree Bienville Province; Sir Knight Leroy Dufrene, marshal of the 4th Degree Archdiocese of New Orleans; Sir Knight Don Ducote,

Book sale a success Last month’s semi-annual Big Book Sale, sponsored by the Friends of the Jefferson Public Library, was another big success, according to Peg Phelps, publicity chairwoman for the organization. “We had a large sale this time, with 506 people entering during just the first 30 minutes we were open on Oct. 15.

St. Philip Neri shows its spirit
Holidays aren’t happy days for pets It’s beginning to look like the holidays. While we love (or maybe loathe) the season, it is a time when things can become stressful, not only for people, but also for pets. Anxiety is often sensed by pets: If things are rushed and stress is in the air, pets know it. They can become anxious if the suitcases come out, or ANIMAL if the decorations RESCUE come down from the attic and the TRACI HOWERTON house is being rearranged. Try to keep the routine as normal as possible for the four-legged family members. Remember to secure pets if visitors arrive. For most pets, it is safer to relegate them to a room where they will not be part of the action. Dogs can become nervous with strangers in their home. If a pet is not used to kids and you have guests with small children, the dog may be uncomfortable. Cats usually disappear and go somewhere to avoid crowds. This also is a time when front doors open continually, and pets can get out and become lost. The holidays are at the top of the list as the season for missing pets. To avoid a runaway pooch or kitty during your holiday party, put them in a bedroom or another secure area for the duration of the festivities. Table food is a no-no for pets. While you may not feed them people food, guests may slip Fido a snack or two that can have negative effects on his digestive system later.
If travel is in your plans, make boarding reservations early for pets, as spots fill up quickly this time of year. In the spirit of giving, consider volunteering at a local shelter or rescue for a few hours. Volunteers are hard to come by due to travel obligations, holiday festivities and school breaks. A few hours can make the holidays a little brighter for a shelter animal, and it will be appreciated more than you know by the shelter staff.

Chalmette school rallies around teacher in her time of need BY KIM GRITTER
Special to The Advocate With a teaching career that spans almost five decades, Stephanie Growl has dedicated her life to helping shape the minds and faiths of thousands of students who have passed through the doors of Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic School in Chalmette. And now, Growl’s Prompt Succor family is joining forces to help her in what is perhaps her greatest time of need. Growl, 69, underwent knee replacement surgery in July. Complications resulted in Growl’s left leg being amputated just above the knee. Since the surgery, Prompt Succor students and faculty members have rallied to do what they can to support Growl in her recovery. The school held a kiss-acritter fundraiser in Growl’s honor on Oct. 2, in which students donated money to see teachers kiss critters like a donkey, a goat, and a tortoise. Principal Sharon Coll said they raised about $5,000 to help Growl with things like home modifications, medical bills and equipment. Growl, who has taught at

Irina Krush, U.S. chess champion and the first American woman to become a grandmaster, got a rock-star reception from young chess fans who turned out Saturday for the New Orleans Chess Festival, held at Rosa F. Keller Library and Community Center. For one demonstration, Krush played 21 games at the same time, rushing from board to board. And in another, she played blindfolded, picturing the board in her mind and calling out her moves. The event, in its second year, also had tournaments all day, along with chess crafts and lessons.
Prompt Succor since 1967, returned to work Oct. 12 and is teaching three morning classes. “She is a trouper,” Coll said. “Her faith is so strong, and that is what has helped keep her together. She loves the school so much that this is her family and her life.” Growl said she is touched by the love and support she has received in the past few months. “There are a lot of people who have stepped forward and have offered help, given help, and made monetary donations,” she said. “Teachers have even gone so far as to cook meals so I could take my time as far as getting back to what is my new normal.” Growl said that’s just what she is doing. “With the power of prayer and my faith, it’s just about me learning my new normal. To look at it any other way will be defeating, and I’m not going to be defeated,” Growl said. “I think if I give in to defeat, that shows my lack of faith, and I’m not there.” Growl said she has times when she struggles, but she refuses to feel sorry for herself.
“Now, I get frustrated like every other human being that all of a sudden has to cope with something they never had before, but I don’t look at this as God is punishing me or as being the worst thing in life that could have happened,” she said. “I often say, ‘Thank you, God, that I only lost a leg.’ People kind of look at me strange when I say that, but that’s exactly how I feel. The only thing that is going to get me through, and what has gotten me through this far, is my faith.” A blood drive will be held in Growl’s honor Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Prompt Succor gym, 2305 Fenelon St. in Chalmette. For more information, call the school at (504) 271-2953. According to The Blood Center, donors must be in good health, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be at least 17 years of age. Donors are encouraged to eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of fluids before and after donating. Participants must bring a picture ID. For more information about donating blood, call The Blood Center at (504) 887-2833 or (504) 263-1190.

Sybil Morial to discuss her book at Metairie library Sybil Haydel Morial, a civil rights activist, wife of New Orleans’ first black mayor and mother to another mayor, will discuss her new book, “Witness to Change: From Jim Crow to Political EmJP LIBRARY powerment,” at LAGNIAPPE 7 p.m. WednesCHRIS day at the East SMITH Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon Ave., Metairie. The presentation is free and open to the public. The book traces her personal story. In 1950s New Orleans, she stepped into her white tulle gown, and her father, a respected surgeon, drove her downtown, where
she made her debut into Negro society. Though mesmerized by the rituals, even at 17, she could not help but note their irony in a world where she daily faced the barriers and insults of Jim Crow. Thirteen years later, Sybil Morial lay sleepless next to her husband, Dutch Morial. Medgar Evers, the NAACP’s national leader, had just been murdered in Mississippi. Dutch Morial, the NAACP’s New Orleans president, had just received another chilling death threat. In whispers, the couple discussed how to protect their three young children. Sybil Morial had grown up in a middle-class, integrated neighborhood during the 1940s and ’50s. After graduating from Boston University,
where she met fellow student Martin Luther King Jr., she became the first AfricanAmerican to teach in the Newton, Massachusetts, public school system. Returning to New Orleans, Morial participated in some of the first tests for integration, attempting to enroll at both Tulane and Loyola universities. In 1962, she was the lone plaintiff in a successful challenge to a statute prohibiting public-school teachers from being involved in any organization advocating civil rights. She also formed the Louisiana League of Good Government to help African-American citizens register to vote. Her late husband was the first African-American to serve in the Louisiana Legislature, later becoming mayor
in 1978. In 1994, their oldest son, Marc, began the first of two terms as mayor. He is now president of the National Urban League.
