Dear Friends, Thank you. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to JCDS and for the many contributions you make each year to strengthen our school. The continued support of donors like you is a clear demonstration of your belief in the mission and vision of JCDS, as well as the role it plays in your life. We’re honored and grateful to be in community with you. During a time when so much of our world felt uncertain, this community demonstrated its faith and commitment to JCDS. Teachers, administrators, staff, parents, and supporters worked together to ensure that our community not only survived, but flourished in a time of great uncertainty. Our community gave generously of their time and resources; as a result, the school community was safe and healthy, learning was robust, and our enrollment grew. JCDS is thriving and it’s clear that we are so much stronger with you by our side. Thank you for ensuring that JCDS remains a pillar of strength for our community and for generations to come. Along with the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to present you with the 2020-2021 Annual Report.

L’shalom,

Leslie Cohen Kastner, P ’23 & ’26 Director of Institutional Advancement
