8 | December 6, 2018 | The New Lenox Patriot NEWS newlenoxpatriot.com Area police departments grow beards for charity Mokena, <strong>NL</strong>, Manhattan raise over $2K for Cancer Support Center T.J. Kremer III Contributing Editor Area residents who thought that their local law enforcement officers were looking a little more scruffy than usual this past month were right; Mokena, New Lenox and Manhattan police participated in No Shave November to raise money for The Cancer Support Center, a nonprofit organization that offers services to people across the south suburbs with offices in Mokena and Homewood. “The way this started was my officers came to the commanders and asked if they could do No Shave November,” Mokena Police Chief Steven Vaccaro said. “...This year we decided we were going to move forward, and what we did is — we had a lot of our officers who were interested. I reached out to [Manhattan Police] Chief [Joe] Wazny and [New Lenox Police] Chief [Bob] Sterba asking if they wanted to make it a Lincoln Way public safety challenge.” All told, the three police departments combined to raise $2,600 — New Lenox with $1,600, Mokena with $760 and Manhattan with $240 — for The Center. “They outdid us, which is Members of the Mokena, New Lenox and Manhattan police departments, along with representatives from The Cancer Support Center, pose for a group photo Friday, Nov. 30, at The Center’s Mokena location. The three police departments raised a combined $2,600 for The Center as part of No Shave November. T.J. Kremer III/22nd Century Media a wonderful thing,” Vaccaro said. “It’s a friendly competition and there’s always next year.” New Lenox’s Chief Sterba credited his officers’ enthusiasm for the cause in raising the most of the three police departments. “Our gus were thrilled with the opportunity to participate. They led the charge here,” Sterba said. “It’s surprising how many people’s lives are touched by somebody with cancer, be it a family member or a friend. So we were very happy to participate.” The services provided by The Center — such as counseling, gentile fitness, theraputic massages, and free wigs and prosthetics — are offered free of charge, so donations from the communities go a long way in supporting those affected by cancer. “We take care of survivors, currently diagnosed, bereaved and caregivers,” said The Cancer Support Center’s Executive Director Sue Armato. “So, really anybody who’s been touched by cancer, we’re here for them.” Ninety-seven percent of those The Center serve say they’ve experienced an improvement in their quality of life, according to Armato. “Know that we’re here for you, and we’re here for all of your residents,” Armato said. “And if any is forced to live with [cancer] it’s our honor to help people get through this challenge.” For more information on The Cancer Support Center, visit cancersupportcenter. org.

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math. The Providence Catholic STEM Academy will provide students with self-directed and collaborative learning in those integrated fields of study and the content of all four disciplines will be interwoven. The STEM Academy will complement the school’s highly successful Honors and AP Programs. It seeks to attract a different type of learner other than the traditional honors student. “The program will be geared towards those students who are inquisitive and active learners wishing to identify and solve authentic problems,” Harper said. “Students will be active and engaged as they work collaboratively and independently to explore various STEM topics and real-life scenarios.” “This STEM Academy is designed for students to begin in their sophomore year and continue through their senior year. Over the course of three years, STEM classes will replace students’ science, math and technology classes on their course schedule. STEM students will be able to meet all PCHS graduation requirements,” according to Rosanne Grigoletti, Technology Director at the school. ”We are thrilled that the STEM Academy will offer students a problem-based and inquiry-based learning environment, engaging them in solving problems through design and innovation.” The STEM Academy includes traditional college prep classes in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Algebra 2, Geometry, Precalculus, Engineering & Design, Computer Science and Computer Programming. In addition, the STEM program will also include classes in Robotics, Java, Python and other programming languages, Web Design, Statistics, Trigonometry, Environmental Science, Ecology and more,” explained Mike Stenoish, Science Department Chairman at Providence. “The course topics are the same as in the traditional classes, but in the STEM Academy, students will be investigating and designing solutions. They will develop higher order thinking skills.” “Our excellent college prep curriculum will now be able to offer even more to our students. We are excited to add the STEM Academy to our programs of study,” said Rachel Ellingson, Director of Student Enrollment. “STEM will teach our students how to effectively collaborate in teams and how to apply learning to real life scenarios. It will provide our student with communication and presentation skills that are necessary today for both college and careers.” Interested families should call Mrs. Rachel Ellingson at (815) 717-3160 to schedule a school visit.
