Skokie Review
Kids from throughout the Chicago area Monday gathered at Skokie's Mayer Kaplan Jewish Community Center in the name of selflessness -- in the name of Martin Luther King Jr.
The JCC's special day of service brought 75 kids from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade age to the JCC on their off day from school. To remember and honor King, they worked on a variety of projects to make the world a better place. "They got it," said Laurie Goldberg, Director of Children and Family Services at JCC of Chicago. "They really understood what giving is about and how important it is to be selfless."
