THE CAMPAIGN FOR RASHI<br />
As we conclude our second year in our<br />
permanent home, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Rashi</strong> <strong>School</strong> continues<br />
to inspire our students to grow and<br />
learn. Each day students take advantage<br />
of every opportunity this unique learning<br />
environment offers – from the interactive<br />
technology in the classrooms to the multigenerational<br />
programming with our New-<br />
Bridge neighbors to the pristine sports<br />
fields, state-of-the art theatre and beautiful<br />
sanctuary, our Beit Midrash.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Rashi</strong> <strong>School</strong> building is a welcoming<br />
place for our kehillah. Generations and<br />
Special Friends Day brought 250 grandparents<br />
and other special guests to the school<br />
in October to enjoy a luncheon program,<br />
visit classrooms, and participate in our<br />
Kabbalat Shabbat. Forty alumni attended<br />
a fun evening last November catching<br />
up with old friends and sharing ideas for<br />
future alumni programming and outreach.<br />
In May, <strong>Rashi</strong> was honored to host some<br />
of the top national leaders of the Union for<br />
Reform Judaism (see related article page 7).<br />
We are grateful that so many parents,<br />
grandparents, alumni and alumni parents,<br />
and friends continue to make <strong>The</strong> Campaign<br />
for <strong>Rashi</strong> a philanthropic priority. We have<br />
now raised more than $28.2 million towards<br />
our $30 million goal. With your generous<br />
support and the support of many dedicated<br />
<strong>Rashi</strong> family and community members, we<br />
will conclude our Campaign with a strong<br />
finish.<br />
We thank you for your support of <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Rashi</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Our work is not yet done and<br />
we encourage all members of the <strong>Rashi</strong><br />
community to continue to invest in our<br />
school as we nurture the next generation<br />
of Jewish leaders.<br />
Best wishes for a happy, healthy and sweet<br />
New Year!<br />
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ON OUR CAMPUS<br />
IN 5773.<br />
