Sixth Grade - Good Deeds Day on March 15

Good Deeds Day, an annual celebration of doing good, was on March 15 and several of our sixth graders enjoyed a great day of community service! The girls' "good deeds" included: creating artistic messages of hope (canvas paintings) that were then sent directly to victims of terrorism living throughout Israel; collecting and donating new towels to homeless families at the Greentree Shelter; and weaving scarves for those in need. They also wrote messages to terror victims and wounded soldiers, listened to presenters talk about the need for world change, giving, and healing! What a way to spend a Sunday - putting into practice the simple idea that every single person can do something good, be it large or small, to improve the lives of others and change the world!
