An opportunity to experience a day at McGillis and celebrate the special role of Grandparents and special friends in our kehilah (community). Please make sure that we have mailing addresses and email addresses for the GrandFriends in your life so they can receive the invitation and communication for GrandFriends Day.

 

 

Our annual service project that supports our purpose and celebrates our values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), gemilut hasadim (doing good and kind deeds), and tzedakah (giving to others) while also addressing one of the chief concerns of students today: climate change.

 

This annual day of service provides our entire community with hands-on experience planting trees that immediately impact our climate and community. This day of service was established as part of our 30th Anniversary celebration.

 

Planting trees requires us to raise approximately $20,000 annually for mature trees, planting supplies, and transportation to the planting site. Our partners at Tree Utah help us identify a local park in Salt Lake County where we can plant trees, acquire trees from local nurseries, provide curricular support for our teachers to teach about the impact of tree planting, and prepare our community to plant trees that will thrive for years to come.
