Students collect food for Kosher Pantry to celebrate Thanksgiving

To celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving, students in Grades 1-8 at the Providence Hebrew Day School attended an assembly organized by Jeffrey Stoloff, fourth-grade general studies teacher.  Earlier in the month, the students were asked to bring a Kosher food item for the Louis and Goldie Chester Kosher Food Pantry to school the day of the assembly.  

Susie Adler, from Jewish Elder Care, was on hand to accept the items that were donated and to talk about the positive impact that the donated food and the Kosher Pantry have on the Jewish community of R.I..  Adler is a PHDS and New England Academy of Torah graduate.

After the presentation, the students had lots of great questions that she was able to answer.  The school wants to thank all the parents and students who donated food for the special Thanksgiving assembly, and all the fourth-grade students who helped make the event a success by collecting the donations, handing out stickers and information and shlepping the full boxes.
