Our 5th and 6th graders visit jCHE’s (Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly) Shillman House on a monthly basis. The residents and students eat lunch together, play games together, and tell stories together. They will even be starting an intergenerational book club next month! The students and residents have so much fun together and learn so much from one another. Fulfilling the mitzvah of visiting the elderly has really come to be a favorite in the Middle School! We can’t wait for next month when we will see our friends again!
We even found the clock we made at the end of last year for our Shillman House friends!
