THE JCDS PARENT CAMPAIGN

מסע התרמה

JCDS is exceptionally grateful for the generosity of parents toward our Annual Fund.

The Parent Campaign is part of the Annual Fund. If you are a current parent and make an annual financial contribution gift to the school, you have participated in the Parent Campaign. Your donation helps JCDS to:

• strengthen academic programs,
• make improvements to facilities, and
• provide new and current families in our community with tuition assistance.

Parent support is critical to reaching the JCDS Annual Fund goal each year. Every year parents generously give of their time and resources to help JCDS continue to thrive. As a JCDS parent, you are in a unique position to help support the school while modeling the values of tzedakah and tikkun olam that JCDS instills in your children.

Every gift to JCDS is essential and appreciated.
