MUSIC LEGEND PETER YARROW HIGHLIGHTS MARCH 21 EVENT IN NORWOOD
To Benefit South Area Solomon Schechter Day School Scholarship Fund
(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 08, 2010 ) Press Release Distribution Service - http://www.emailwire.com/publications/unlimited_press_release_distribution.php/:
BOSTON, MASS. -- Legendary singer-songwriter-social activist Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary fame will be the featured performer at Chaijinks 2010, Sunday evening, March 21. The event benefits the scholarship fund of the South Area Solomon Schechter Day School in Norwood. (‘Chaijinks’ is a combination of the Hebrew word ‘chai’ -- ‘life’ -- and ‘high jinks,’ or ‘celebration’.)
Husband and wife community leaders and attorneys Jordan D. Hershman and Diana K. Lloyd, parents of two SASSDS students, will be honored with the Lester B. Gilson Community Service Award. Robert Starr will receive the Effie Goldstein Memorial Volunteer Award.
Peter Yarrow helped bring Peter, Paul & Mary to international acclaim while advancing the great social movements of the time. He wrote such classics as “Day is Done,” “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” and “Light One Candle.” His music stirs the soul and has moved audiences to action to make the world a better place. Much of the trio’s music centered around the social issues including war, homelessness, the environment, world hunger, and apartheid. They won six Grammy Awards between 1963 and 2003 plus 12 nominations.
Peter is founder of Operation Respect: “Don’t Laugh At Me,” a non-profit organization based on his belief that music has the power to build community and catalyze change. Through curriculum and music, Operation Respect establishes a climate that assures each child a respectful, safe and compassionate climate of learning where academic, social and emotional development can take place - free of bullying, ridicule and violence.
The South Area Solomon Schechter Day School in Norwood enrolls 250 boys and girls in grades K - 8 from 30 communities. It has a national reputation for its high quality general and Jewish education, and is accredited by the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE).
Space is limited. For reservations and sponsorship information contact Diane Joiner: djoiner@sassds.org; 781-769-9400. Website: www.sassds.org.
