Youngsters Doing a Good Deed

Youngsters, 9 & 10 years old, attending Beth Emet's Religious School, are working on a project with Bears of Hope.  They are making our bears for critically ill patients at Israeli hospitals.  The students began by tracing the bear pattern on printed cotton fabrics. Once the bears are sewn, the kids will stuff them, iron-on facial features and put bows around the necks of the bears.  Marci Dickman, Director of Life Long Learning said, "It was wonderful seeing how excited the children were to be doing something for others."
