We need teens in 6th and 7th grade to donate
mini-toiletries
(including small sizes of soap, shampoo, deodorant, brushes, combs, tissues, and lip balm) and 8th-12th graders to donate
mini-water bottles

6th-8th graders are invited to join us until Saturday night. 8th graders are invited to stay for 8th Grade Experience through Sunday morning.
Busing will be available to the event (taking place at Temple Israel of Great Neck) from Westchester. Since Shabbat starts early in the winter and the event is on Long Island, you'll probably have to miss some school on Friday to make it to the bus.
