March 13, <strong>2011</strong><br />

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 />

soccer, basketball, softball, and<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 />
