Allie Novey is a 7th grade student<br />
at Sandy Run Middle School. She<br />
began her Jewish education at<br />
<strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Sinai</strong> at the Ann Newman<br />
Preschool and has continued on<br />
with the <strong>Temple</strong> <strong>Sinai</strong> Religious<br />
School.<br />
Allie enjoys spending time with<br />
friends and playing many sports:<br />

tennis to name a few. She also<br />
enjoys spending the summer at<br />
C a m p C h i p i n a w i n t h e<br />
Catskills. For Allie's Mitzvah<br />
project, which is very near and<br />
dear to her, she has visited and will<br />
continue to visit the Albert<br />
E i n s t ein M e d i cal C ancer<br />
Treatment room. She bakes<br />
homemade chocolate chip cookies<br />
and hands them out to the patients<br />
during their treatment. This<br />
project has been especially close to<br />
Allie's heart as her grandmother<br />
had been a patient and knew she<br />
would have smiled upon this<br />
herself.<br />
Sharing in Allie's Simcha are her<br />
parents, Sharon and Stuart, her<br />
sister Jana, and her grandparents,<br />
Abby and Melvin Novey.<br />
