The fifth grade is excited to host a mitzvah project this Sunday, January 8, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the Heilicher dining room and library. This kicks off a week of service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The project has been a student-led initiative, where the kids have been involved in all aspects of the planning, organizing, marketing, and community impact. They've put in a ton of time and energy and have planned some really fun games, crafts, and activities, all incorporating mitzvot. Please plan to attend with your children. The mitzvah project includes a food drive, so please bring nonperishable food items with you to the event. The students have also baked lots of yummy treats and will have them available for sale. All money raised will go to charities that the kids have chosen.
Finally, the kids are running a supply drive to create mitzvah bags for people facing housing insecurity. Each assembled bag will include a pair of socks, hand/foot warmers, a granola bar, and lip balm and can be kept in the car to give to people who may benefit from it. We've asked students to help bring in the following items by grade:
K-2 Socks
3-4 Hand/Foot warmers
5-6 Granola bars
7-8 Lip balm
If you can bring in any of the items above, don't worry if they aren't assigned to your child's grade. We'll benefit from whatever you have to offer. Items will be collected through 10 a.m. TOMORROW outside the Heilicher office.
We're looking forward to a fun and meaningful school event on Sunday. Thank you in advance for helping make it a success.
