“My class and I went to Northwest Harvest and we packed rice with some volunteering parents. The rice goes to people without enough food. I think it was pretty fun and also a little tiring. It was a good experience and we took it seriously because we knew it was a big mitzvah to the people we made the bags for.”
— Third grader Naomi Nahmias, a student at the Jewish Day School of Metropolitan Seattle

The class trip to Northwest Harvest was part of JDS’ Mitzvah Days, which included the student council and middle school students raising $150 to purchase Hanukkah gifts — movie passes — for a family they sponsored through Jewish Family Service. The family received handmade cards as well. The 1st grade sold hot chocolate and coffee to school parents to help families at Hopelink in Bellevue.
