THANK YOU!  TODAH RABAH!  GRACIAS!  MERCI!

What an incredible evening! Our community gathered for a truly memorable night full of joy, connection, and celebration. The festivities kicked off with an outdoor Pre-Reception, where Grade 12 students Amy Feldman and Fina Stolowicz spoke beautifully about the meaningful impact their time at King David has had on them. From there, we moved into the Sanctuary, where the ever-charismatic Howard Blank, our Master of Ceremonies, kept the energy and excitement going strong!

We were inspired by heartfelt words from Seth Goldsweig, and blown away by the incredible Six13 musical performance. A highlight of the evening was the touching video created by alumni star Gabe Stern (Class of 2019).

20 Years of King David High School - Watch the video!

The excitement continued with a lively 'Fund the Need' led by Howard, rallying support to raise crucial funds for the school. a moving special tribute to the Deputy Head of School, Alex Monchamp, and, of course, the celebration carried out in the ballroom, featuring live music by our talented King David musicians.

The night wrapped up with the buzz of 50/50, raffle, and silent auction fun. Thank you to everyone who made this such a memorable evening, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Video Tribute to Mr. Mo

The message from alumnus Marcos Mogyoros, had a clear impact on Alex, who shared his gratitude for his 24-year career at King David. He said, "The value of this school cannot be overstated. Please do not take this school for granted, that after these 20 amazing years, assume King David will always be here, that there’s no more work to be done. 20 years is nothing in the life of a school; but we have reached a turning point, when I started, a sustainable Jewish high school was the goal, now a Jewish High School is a necessity. I have seen the difference it makes in the lives of our students (look at our alumni) and I have seen the care, toil, and commitment it has taken to get to where we are today."

Thanks to your incredible support, this year’s celebration was a fantastic success. We’re so grateful to have you with us on this journey ... here’s to the next exciting chapter at King David!
