MITZVAH PROJECTS

Daniel Shtirmer is holding an arts and crafts donation drive to benefit the Goryeb Children's Hospital. There are two boxes by the front door for 1st-8th graders to donate arts and crafts supplies. Please note your child's grade with a Sharpie on a sticker for all donated items, because the class that brings in the most items will be treated to an ice cream social by the Shtirmer family.
