In A Day of Pleasure, Isaac Bashevis Singer takes the reader on a journey back to his boyhood in Poland in the early 1900s. Through the telling of 19 events in his childhood, beginning with a move to Krochmalna Street in Warsaw, a lasting picture of Jewish life during this era is painted. His boyhood struggles between right and wrong, as well as merely surviving in a harsh environment, provide the reader with an understanding of the power behind the children’s literature that he has written.
COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
The Center for Gifted Education (CFGE) at William & Mary University (College of William & Mary), is a research and development center providing services to educators, policy makers, graduate students, researchers, and parents in support of the needs of gifted and talented individuals. Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, the CFGE has established an international reputation for excellence in research, curriculum development, and service. Several major grants, including funding from the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, have provided significant support for the work of the Center. In 2012, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation awarded CFGE the funds needed for a summer residential camp for low income, high-ability children, for four consecutive years. In 2015, William & Mary alumni, Mike and Nancy Petters, through the Petters Family Foundation, provided additional financial support to the program. In 2016, the Petters Family Foundation has committed to fully fund the program for the next four years. Camp Launch is only the beginning of the Center for Gifted Education’s goal to bring educational equality to all gifted students.
