7th grade will be spearheading a Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive for The Ark from Sunday, November 3 through Sunday, November 17. Here is a list of their most needed items: arkchicago.org/pantrycollectionlist/. Items donated to The Ark must be kosher (accepted kosher symbols are on their list.)  

At the end of the food drive, we will launch our first special program and field trip of the 7th grade year. We will learn about the amazing work The Ark does in the community and help restock their shelves. We encourage parents to join us! Your child can attend even if you cannot. We will work to create carpools to get all of the 7th graders there that morning. You must wear comfortable, close-toed shoes to participate.
