I also work for the Friendship Circle with disabled kids, I do community service jobs, and I watch pets for families that need help while they go on a vacation.

I am a freshman (obviously) from West Orange, and I’m currently going to school at Montclair Kimberley Academy. I love every kind of sport, both to play and watch (except for golf, not sure how it’s a sport if they can’t even walk to where they hit the ball). I am a very happy person, and look forward to a great year! Any questions, email me at twins111197@aol.com.

Hi, West Orange USY! My name is Ethan (pronounced eitan). I am a freshman at West Orange High School. I went to Schechter for nine years before switching to public school. USY has already changed my life and made it SO much better! I haven't missed a dance or convention so far and I don't plan on it. My best friends right now are probably my USY friends. USY is amazing! Especially West Orange USY!!

Advisor: Jeff Kirschenbaum

HEY Everyone! My name is Jeff and I have been the WOUSY Advisor for 5-6 years now and I love it. The kids keep me young and “on my toes”. Over the years I have worked with so many teens who contribute in so many different ways. I have a great president this year who is so committed to the success of our chapter. It makes each and every event we plan a fun experience. She is a “true” USYer and I am so excited to have her in my chapter. I have an extensive sports trading card collection and maintain 2 fishtanks in my home. I teach 6^thgrade mathematics in East Orange and enjoy challenging the mind of those young teenagers.

I want to thank my entire board for putting up with my inability to work with facebook, tweeting, etc and hope all of you enjoy our chapter website.

Looking forward to a great year.
