Recently, students had the opportunity to practice the value of social justice to benefit troubled teenagers, victims of domestic violence, cancer patients, poverty-stricken families and abused or abandoned animals. “It’s a good way to help others and improve our community,” said Reed Abrams, an Agnon School sixth-grader who was cutting material to make a fleece blanket for a domestic violence center in Cleveland.
