THE POWER OF PARTICIPATION

The generosity, commitment, and participation of our parent community made an invaluable difference in the life of our school and the education of our students last year. Ninety-two percent of parents made a gift to the 2020-2021 Brandeis Fund and together contributed more than $390,000 toward our $551,000 total. Thank you for coming together to enrich the educational experience of every student at Brandeis. Every gift truly makes a difference!
