Thank you to the Lander-Grinspoon Academy Kitah Vav/Sixth Grade students for setting up an apartment for an arriving refugee family. With just a few days notice, the class went shopping with money they had raised from selling crabapple jelly in the fall, and were able to buy all of the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen supplies needed for the family. Next, they cleaned the apartment in West Springfield, top to bottom, and set up the space beautifully to welcome the family to their new home! Their important work is part of our partnership with the Jewish community, and is an opportunity for students to practice the core Jewish value of tikkun olam – healing the world.
