HEAD OF SCHOOL’S<br />
MESSAGE<br />
<strong>2011</strong>-<strong>2012</strong> was a wonderful year for our<br />
school. We have truly settled into our<br />
Dedham campus, which now seems like it<br />
has always been our home. Our multigenerational<br />
programming is thriving, with a<br />
myriad of activities both within our walls<br />
and across the street at NewBridge (see<br />
page 8).<br />
<strong>Rashi</strong> students continue to be engaged in<br />
learning, in both core academic subjects<br />
and in areas such as music, which has<br />
really flourished this year with a program<br />
that has heightened children’s understanding<br />
and use of the power of music<br />
(see page 10).<br />
Our teachers are harnessing the power of<br />
technology to enhance instruction in the<br />
21 st century. <strong>The</strong>y are working with consultants<br />
to create a connected learning<br />
environment at the school that will bring<br />
together established learning theory and<br />
the power of social and digital media. <strong>The</strong><br />
possibilities are infinite and exciting.<br />
<strong>The</strong> community mosaic project was a<br />
highlight of this year (see page 6). I have<br />
never seen a project generate so much energy<br />
among children and adults sustained<br />
over such a long period of time. <strong>The</strong> excitement<br />
in the building was palpable and the<br />
result is truly spectacular.<br />
As always, our mission and our values<br />
direct our energies and focus our efforts.<br />
This report highlights activities of the<br />
past year and recognizes donors to our<br />
Annual and Capital Campaigns.<br />
I want to thank each of you for helping<br />
to make this year so successful. It is your<br />
generosity that enables us to maintain and<br />
strengthen our programs which serve our<br />
students and which will sustain <strong>Rashi</strong> for<br />
generations to come.<br />
MY VERY BEST WISHES FOR A<br />
HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.<br />
