RSVP for Fox Valley Jewish School's pancake breakfast Jan. 22

Join students at Fox Valley Jewish School in Geneva for a special pancake breakfast and contribute to their community service project from 9:45 to 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 22.

Community service is an important part of the curriculum. Each year, all the students learn about and support a selected nonprofit organization.

This year, they are working with Phillips Park Zoo in Aurora. This zoo provides homes for wild animals that cannot survive in the wild due to injury or some other difficulty. It also educates the public about the wildlife in the area and how to create an environment that works best for both people and wildlife.

The students visited the zoo in October and made treat containers for the animals in art class. Their next project is a pancake breakfast fundraiser and you are invited! Please show the students that you value community service by coming to this event.

Breakfast will be served from 9:45-10:30 a.m. downstairs at the school, 121 S. Third St. Cost is $3 per person.

Please respond to mimevans83@gmail.com with the number of people attending so they know how much food to prepare.

It serves families looking for Jewish activities close to home and is sensitive to modern family needs.
