From The Head of School and Board Chair To all of you who gave generously during the 2015-2016 school year, our deepest thanks. You continue a long and proud tradition of support for Beth Yeshurun Day School and the good work that happens here every day. Within this annual report you will see lists of gifts to the school – of time, talent, and treasure. These lists represent an important sampling of the many ways your support helps our school pursue and fulfill its mission.

Dr. Dan Ahlstrom Head of School

Through the generosity of our school community this past year, we experienced a significant increase in annual giving, both in dollars raised and participating families and our Gala was a record-breaking success. We are pleased to report that the school not only concluded its year with a balanced budget, but, it completed the repayment of its loans incurred in the Build Our Future Campaign renovation of the Elementary School two years ahead of schedule. Looking ahead, we are proud to announce that in the 2016-2017 school year we will establish the BYDS Endowment thanks to a generous gift from the Helen & Samuel Schaffer Jewish Education Fund and support from our school families.

At Beth Yeshurun Day School we believe every child deserves a strong foundation. As we look to the future we strive to improve everything we do to better understand and fulfill our school’s mission. As we continue this important work together, led by our outstanding faculty and staff, and supported by our Board of Trustees, please continue your support and we encourage our community to actively participate in our efforts on behalf of our school. To everyone who supports Beth Yeshurun through donations large or small, recognized or anonymous, thank you! Thank you for your support this past year, thank you for your support next year. Thank you for your commitment to our mission.

From The Development Chair Dear Beth Yeshurun Community, Todah Robah. On behalf of everyone who steps foot onto our campus each and every day, I sincerely thank you for supporting the advancement of Beth Yeshurun Day School.

Because of the generosity of our small-but-robust community, it is my pleasure to report that we were able to achieve our targeted fundraising goals for 2015-2016.

Growing a culture of giving is vital to the longevity and future success of BYDS. Our school is among the finest independent schools in the greater Houston area. Because tuition dollars only cover a percent of BYDS' annual operating budget, charitable contributions make it possible for your children to receive the outstanding academic, Judaic, and developmental experiences our faculty and staff can provide. Additionally, by making BYDS one your top three charitable giving recipients, you show confidence and solidarity in support of our students and the school’s mission.

Jennifer Deutsch, Board of Trustees, Development Chair

So, thank you again to the more than 1,500 members of our BYDS community, including current parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends who believe in the continued success of our school and its love of learning. Your support is a testament to the reason why Beth Yeshurun Day School is celebrating 65 years of Jewish education.

Annual Giving Fund Facts

about our annual giving fund

Beth Yeshurun Day School’s Annual Giving Fund raises unrestricted funds for the school’s operating budget. Gifts to the Annual Giving Fund helps the school to: • attract and develop an outstanding faculty; • enhance academic programs including science, music, and fine arts; • create new and exciting programs that integrate general and Jewish studies; • extend financial assistance to families committed to a Jewish day school education; and • ensure students and teachers have access to updated and leading-edge technology.

Like all independent schools, Beth Yeshurun Day School relies on Annual Giving to bridge the gap between tuition revenue, which must be affordable, and the full cost of educating children. BYDS counts on 100% family participation. Every gift matters; every gift makes a difference!
