What Can You Build on a Foundation of Ice? WHAT CAN YOU BUILD ON A FOUNDATION OF ICE? FIGURE SKATING IN HARLEM ANNUAL REPORT FY2015 1 MISSION Our mission is to transform young lives and help underserved girls grow in confidence, leadership, and academic achievement. Founded in 1997, Figure Skating in Harlem (FSH) uses the artistic discipline of figure skating as a powerful magnet to provide innovative education and fitness programs that promote academic success, physical health, and emotional well-being in a safe and supportive environment. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 “Figure Skating in Harlem is a quintessential New York organization. 9 It’s about achievement, excellence and community.” 10 Vera Wang Fashion Designer 11 12 2 WHAT CAN YOU BUILD ON A FOUNDATION OF ICE?

FSH alumna Keri Springett said, “FSH gave me the most essential tool in life – self- discipline.” Our 18th season, as you’ll read inside these pages, was one of continued growth. We implemented a unique Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) unit that uses figure skating as the lens to ignite curiosity in these subjects where Black and Latina women are sorely underrepresented. We doubled the hours in our Summer Dreams camp, hosted a career week in Washington, D.C. that included a special visit with White House policy analysts and a Supreme Court Justice, and helped students secure full scholarships at prep schools. The recent opening of our brand new Academic Center will allow us to double the number of academic hours each student spends with us during the school year. Thanks to you, the future is bright for the young women we serve in New York City. As we approach our 20th anniversary, we are taking a bold step to secure their futures and bring our innovative model to girls in other communities, beginning with Detroit. This is a city with a rich skating history, is teaming with energy and in need of youth development programs. Your support will be crucial in allowing more girls and their families to benefit from the opportunity, education and empowerment that we will continue to create together, giving all of the future Keri Springetts the tool of self-discipline and beyond. Warmest regards, Sharon Cohen 2Founder and Executive Director GROWTH AND IMPACT LONG TERM OBJECTIVES Our Students will: IT’S AN EXCITING TIME AT • Have the academic foundation to graduate FIGURE SKATING IN HARLEM! from high school and succeed at a four- year college • Possess a life-long appreciation for In June FSH moved its LEADING EDGE ACADEMIC physical fitness as a tool to benefit mind CENTER to a larger space on the fifth floor of the and body historic Harlem Commonwealth Council building on • Possess positive social and emotional 125th Street that once housed a YWCA.

We look • Develop proficient skating skills forward to starting our I.C.E = I CAN EXCEL afterschool program off right with even more educational offerings • Possess confidence in their ability to in October! achieve their personal goals 3 EDUCATIONEDUCATION Figure Skating in Harlem’s signature academic curriculum aligns to New York State Common Core Standards, and is used by certified teachers to deliver engaging academic enrichment classes throughout the school year. All students are placed in small tutoring groups of a maximum of 4 students to one teacher, and aim to maintain at least a B+ average in core subjects to remain in good standing. Studies show that minority and low-income students show even greater gains when placed in small classes. At least 65% of our students come from families who earn $45,000 or less per year. The writing-infused classes help students gain financial literacy skills, realize the benefits of public speaking, and hone critical thinking skills. FSH also offers leadership and mentoring opportunities and cultural field trips, all planned to provide the students with meaningful experiences to help deepen their commitment to success. “In Financial Literacy, I learned what a credit card is and the importance of paying my bills on time. I am confident that when I get to college and get my first credit card, I will be that person who will use it wisely.” 4 Raven Williams, First Year Student Individual learning plans are created for each student to identify goals that are in line with our academic philosophy: S.K.A.T.E Student-Centered It is essential that our curriculum focus on the needs of our students by incorporating multiple learning styles. Knowledge and Skills-Based Learning Common Core and age appropriate state standards and skills help develop student understanding. Activity-Rich Hands-on activities, whenever possible, make lessons come alive. Time to Write Students are guided and have time to craft quality written work in every class. Embedded Assessments To meet learning benchmarks, lessons are designed with assessments in mind so that teachers can accurately track and monitor student progress. 55 EDUCATION Our new STEM INITIATIVE focuses on science, technology, engineering, and math fields through a specialized CONGRATULATIONS Figure Skating in Harlem Seniors! curriculum that relates these subjects to the skills students are developing on the ice. Year-round, students explore the broad topics of My Body, My Ice, My Skating, Health & Fitness, Mechanics & Energy and Computer Science with lessons covering cardiovascular and heart health, skeletal and muscular systems, the engineering of ice rinks, Newtonian physics, coding, and more. Students improve bio-motor skills, aerobic and muscle fitness, flexibility and coordination, while learning key facts about health, nutrition and math. 93% of students improved their understanding of key STEM concepts from pre- and post- unit assessments. SUMMER DREAMS Every year, 43 million children go without access to critical summer learning. To increase student exposure to academics during summer months FSH has expanded its Summer Dreams Camp to operate 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. four days a week for six weeks. Our summer camp provides students with 12 hours per week of skating and off- ice conditioning classes. Enrichment classes focused on reading, writing and STEM subjects are offered. Skating instruction takes place each afternoon at City Ice Pavilion in Queens. 6 CONGRATULATIONS Figure Skating in Harlem Seniors! Cheyenne Pommelle, State University of New York at Oneonta • Sandra Williams, State University of New York at Oneonta • Kyatta Evans, State University of New York College at Buffalo • Dequanea Nealy, Pennsylvania State University FSH’s 3rd Annual School Fair provided information to our families about competitive middle and high schools in New York City. Thirteen private, independent, and top performing public schools participated, and spoke to more than 50 FSH parents and students attending the fair. High School and College Planning FSH provided robust high school and college guidance to our girls as they planned their academic futures. Weekly discussions are held focused on the high school admissions process, goal setting, and developing a four-year academic plan for 9th graders. Our 12th graders received individual guidance and ongoing support as they conducted college research and applied to various schools. Additionally, they received information about employment, internships and scholarship opportunities. 7 OPPORTUNITY COLLEGE TOURS AND ALUMNAE PANEL FSH held its first ever College Week, during which FSH alumnae gave tours to current FSH students at their college campuses. In addition, our girls visited Howard University and George Washington University in Washington, DC. College Week ended with a panel discussion with alumnae from Brown University, St. John’s University, CUNY City College, St. John’s Fisher College, Spelman College, and Howard University. “The dedication from my peers has encouraged me to come in with a positive attitude and be a team player on and off the ice. No matter what challenges we face it is always comforting to know that we have our FSH family behind us at the end of the day.” Ariel Clark, 12 years old 8 CAREER WEEK Career perception is an important factor that influences girls. FSH partners with various companies and organizations to help expand thinking about career and academic decisions. FSH students visited Washington, DC to meet with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and to learn from White House policy analysts, including leaders from the offices of Education & Physical Sciences, Pubic Engagements, Science and Technology, and the White House Council on Women and Girls and various executive members of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Some local Career Week visits included: • American International Group, Inc. (AIG), the leading international insurance organization, to meet with top female executives, women in the science department and recruiters to practice resume and interview skills. • Brand Union, a global brand and creative design agency to learn about brand strategies and marketing. • The United Nations for a behind the scenes look and guided tour of the headquarters.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this dissertation without the guidance of my committee members, the help from my friends and colleagues, and the support of my family.

  • Feast of the 7 Fish: Christmas Eve Italian Style
    December 13, 2011 Unique Visitors Per Month: 14,669,767 Feast of the 7 Fish: Christmas Eve Italian Style Inarguably, one of the most treasured facets of Christmas that celebrators relish this jingle-jingle, pine-scented, bow-topped holiday is all the great tradition that comes along with it. For many, a big part of that doesn’t just happen under the tree or bursting from stockings hung by the chimney with care— but in the kitchen. Frank Pellegrino, one of the owners of Rao's Italian restaurant in New York City. Christian cultures the world over celebrate the same holiday with entirely different, wonderfully deliciously exciting menus. But perhaps one of the most unique food-centric celebratory meals this time of year is the annual Italian Christmas Eve dinner --a gut-busting, table-overflowing bash of seafood-centric bounty. “I can go as far back to when I was a little boy and remember always being at my grandparent’s house with the whole family,” says Frank Pellegrino Jr. of eating with his clan in Oceanside, Long Island, N.Y. on the holiday. Pellegrino isn’t just any ol’ nostalgic paesano—he also happens to be the fourth-generation owner of the famous 100-plus year old iconic Italian eatery Rao's in Harlem as well as the much newer five-year-old outpost in Las Vegas. He’s a man who knows a thing or two about traditional Italian meals. “We’d have the seven fish… well, actually more than that! And every Christmas Eve, it was something we really looked forward to.” In America, the celebration is often referred to as the Feast of the 7 Fish, the number meant to represent in the Catholic religion either the seven virtues, or possibly the seven sacraments.

  • The Overwhelming Albatross: Stereotypical Representations and Italian-Canadian Political and Cultural Life
    Saggi Canada The Overwhelming Albatross: Stereotypical Representations and Italian-Canadian Political and Cultural Life Francesca L’Orfano Carleton University, Ottawa The limits of one’s language signify the limits of one’s world. William Boelhower (1984, p. 26) Introduction On May 8, 2002, while watching CBC Newsworld morning, Don Martin, a reporter from the «Calgary Herald», was being asked about the recent Group Action patronage scandal that had hit the Liberal government. After discuss- ing the bureaucratic quagmire, Martin was asked what role he felt Alfonso Gagliano had played in the entire situation. Martin, without hesitation replied: «He’s sort of the godfather of the whole scandal». For Martin this is the limit of his language. An Italian name is involved and political «corruption», not the exclusive domain of any party or any ethnic group, jumps to a bigoted slur. This is the language that continues even today. The language of the media that without thought or effort continues to create the Other and in this circumstance the Other is an Italian-Canadian. My present research builds on the work of my MA thesis titled Challenging Exclusion: Film, Video, Identity, Memory and the Italian Canadian Immigrant Experience (L’Orfano, 2002a). For the first time in Canada,Challenging Exclu- sion brought together, narrated, wrote, and documented, a body of films and videos, both by and on the Italian-Canadian community and experience, created © Centro Altreitalie, Globus et Locus 137 Altreitalie gennaio-dicembre 2009 over the past fifty postwar years. The work then probed what it means for Italian diasporic artists to be, act and construct «Canadian».
