Ukrainian Service Project – We have two Ukrainian students this year at Ben Lippen, Daniil and Eva Mykolenko. The school has the opportunity to partner with their parents, Mark and Natalia Waynick, to provide items that will be shipped to Ukraine. The Waynicks will ship the items to Ukraine. The lower school will be collecting small toys, pacifiers, and teethers. Collection dates will be April 19-April 29. There is a box for these items in the lower school lobby. Please join us as we support the children and families in Ukraine during this difficult time.
