We’re wrapping up Week 2 of Kulanu Scholarship Awareness Month with a BIG thank you and to let you know that we have more work to do!
Our thermometer has only climbed a tiny bit since last week, taking us to 74% of our annual goal. That means we need to raise another at $478,500 for our students in need of tuition assistance!
Week 2 Highlights…
PK2 hosted an art gallery of their own original works with a viewing for parents and students in higher grades. They then auctioned it off…
all to benefit Kulanu.
Upper School students, including some of our State-ranked varsity soccer team,
volunteered for evening Kulanu phone-a-thons.
Across all grade levels, General Studies and Judaic Studies teachers are collaborating. Check out this tzedakah-based Lower School math lesson:
Power in Numbers:
When we do something as a class - or as a community - we can see bigger results. If one person gives, what can be purchased with that money to help someone? If everyone in a class or grade brought in the same amount, how much tzedakah would we have? Connect multiplication and time. If a student collected a set amount for tzedakah and each day brought in that amount, how long would it take to reach our goal? What if everyone in the class or grade pitched in? What if everyone in our community pitched in?
Every day, we see and hear how our community is coming together for Kulanu.
The purpose of Kulanu Scholarship Awareness Month is to reinforce our strength in community.
Kulanu, the Hebrew word for All of Us, refers to our identity as a Jewish community school and reminds us of the value of giving the gift of Jewish education to 1 in every 5 of our children.
Kulanu counts on tzedakah from friends like you. Unlike charity, tzedakah is our responsibility…
…our responsibility to further our next generation. And we do exactly that when we support Kulanu.

Whether through a new gift or one that adds to your history of giving, we thank you.
