Dear Kehillah, 


As we close another fantastic year, I want to thank you for all that you do to support your children, our students, on their Kehillah journey. From August’s Summer Prep and our opening Kinnus (gathering), all the way to June’s graduation ceremony, next year is already shaping up to be a winner. We hope this summer mailing provides you with helpful information as you make your plans for the 23-24 school year. 


Settling into summer, we all look forward to a quieter time to complete work projects and recharge our batteries. To support our academic and operational faculty, we observe a “quiet” time from July 1-31. Of course, I will remain available for any emergencies. 

 



Warm regards, 


Daisy Pellant

Head of School

A word about giving

Kehillah is proud to foster a culture of giving throughout our programs. The Kehillah Fund is the school’s top fundraising priority, and allows the school flexibility for upgrades where they are needed most. It provides essential resources necessary for every Kehillah student to enjoy a unique, robust and dynamic learning experience. Gifts of all sizes collectively make an incredible impact, and every gift is tax-deductible.
