EMPTY PLATES, EMPTY BOWLS ART AUCTION

This year our school wide Tzedakah project is about preventing hunger and promoting healthy eating.  Our students are working with local artist Ms. Ann Sbrocchi, Ms. Vernell Dunmeyer and the Lowcountry Food Bank on a special art project called "Empty Plates, Empty Bowls" partially supported by Publix Supermarket in Charleston.  Join us for an exhibit and silent auction on Tuesday, January 31st from 7:00 to 8:00 pm in the JCC Auditorium.  All proceeds will go to the Lowcountry Food Bank.

FREINDS OF THE ACADEMY CLASS CHALLENGE

Addlestone's Friends of the Academy campaign supports the school's most important needs and is a vital part of the annual operating budget.  Phyllis Katzen and Fay Novit Grabin, AHA Development Co-chairs, are sponsoring an ice cream party contest for all classes (Tiny Tots - 8th grade).  Every class that has 100% family participation in our Friends of the Academy campaign by March 1st will be treated to an ice cream party the following week.  (This contest is meant to encourage one gift per family.  If you have multiple children, your family gift will count for each of your children's grades.)  All donations made to Friends of the Academy will be matched by an anonymous donor!  Thank you for making a difference at Addlestone!

Eli Hyman is being honored by Addlestone Hebrew Academy through an amazing, funny and outrageous Roast!
