Giving in Line with Tepley’s Values
So many people have given in Tepley’s honor to organizations which celebrate the values she learned at school and we were working to teach her at home - Compassion, Inclusiveness, and Stewardship. Thank you.
COMPASSION
Not even 2 years old, Tepley noticed when her friends (or parents) were sad and would bring a toy or just her presence to try to cheer them. Tepley is also a second-generation immigrant, as are many of her classmates.
STEWARDSHIP
One of Tepley’s favorite books was Take Care which we received from PJ Library about the Jewish tradition of tikkun olam: activities that improve the world. In celebration of Tepley, this commitment focuses in two areas: giving access to books and protecting the environment.
INCLUSIVENESS
Tepley loved to meet new people and to connect people to each other, at school and even in line at the grocery store. She noticed not what was different about them, but the beautiful parts that were the same.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
