Mitzvah Heroes. That is what we call our 8th grade class. Each Sunday morning 22 students learn about how their actions can help make this world a better place. Then they get up, get moving and get working. Here are some of their recent projects.

World Wide Wrap

 Each year we partner with our Men's Club to participate in the World Wide Wrap. This year about forty of our 7th, 9th & 10th graders joined the Men's Club this past Sunday to wrap t'fillin and enjoyed a delicious brunch.

All of our wrappers!
It was a great Tfillin refresher for many of our students. We had a parent come and wrap Tfillin for the first time and some of our 10th grader commented on what a nice connection to the community the morning was.
