ideals of hope, justice, and equality.” Schamis had created her
school’s Holocaust education program.

Schamis was teaching on Feb. 14 when the suspect, former
student Nikolas Cruz, shot up the classroom, killing two stu-
dents and injuring four. In all, 17 students and teachers were
killed before Cruz was apprehended.

“How can this happen, of all places, in a classroom where
students were learning how to combat hate? The lessons of the
Holocaust were coming alive right there in room 1214,” Schamis
said in a statement. “Since that fateful day, the fourth-period stu-

Golf Outing Raises
Scholarship Money

ON JUNE 7, the Jewish Federation hosted the annual Jewish Community Day at Green
Valley Country Club. Attendees turned out to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Israel
and their local Jewish communities with a round of golf, a delicious dinner and an
engaging brie ng from Israeli journalist Alon Ben-David about current events in the
Middle East. is year’s special project was the Atidim Cadets for Transportation pro-
gram, and through the money raised at this event, seven students will receive a four-year
scholarship, living stipend, academic support and a laptop if accepted to the Faculty
of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
Despite their incredible potential, these students come from low socioeconomic
backgrounds and many would not be able to study without the support of Atidim.

Tim Levy, Greg Marks, Ken Dash and Brad Sokol enjoy an afternoon on the golf
course.

Guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening meal and program.
