Abrams Residence Visit
|
|
The 8th grade paid an informal visit to their friends at the Abrams Residence this week. They collaborated on a jewelry-making project, enjoyed great pastries from Lakewood, and most importantly, had time to schmooze and build on their warm and nurturing relationships with the seniors.
Pictures are worth 1,000 words, and the expressions on the faces of the students and the seniors say it all.
Thanks to the “Better Together Program” Abrams students and Abrams Residence seniors are learning from each other and experiencing the joy of inter-generational connections.
L’dor v’dor….

EITC Participation for Individuals
|
|
The Foundation for Jewish Day Schools has been approved as a Special Purpose Entity (SPE). This means that individuals who pay individual income taxes to PA can now participate in the EITC program by joining the SPE.
This is a great opportunity for Abrams families and supporters who pay at least $6500 in PA State taxes to help themselves and Abrams through their participation in the program.
The Foundation for Jewish Day Schools will provide guidance on this process so that you can participate as an individual.
If you qualify, please take this opportunity to help the school and benefit from a tax credit for yourself.
Contact Ellen Matz at ematz@jfgp.org or call
(215) 832-0525 for more information.
