Dear Friends,

As we enter our thirteenth year of serving the Greater Boston Jewish community, your partnership and the support of so many in our community have helped us create a school that truly combines the best of many worlds. Our students study math and science, history and literature, and world languages alongside Biblical and Rabbinic texts and Modern Hebrew language. They pursue their passions and hone their talents as artists, athletes, leaders and volunteers, while deepening and strengthening their identities as Jews and Americans. With a world class faculty and our passionate and diverse student body, Gann has become a national and international model of pluralistic high school education.

As our partners, you have helped us build and sustain our community of learners, and the following highlights of what we have accomplished are thanks to your ongoing support:

• We provide scholarship assistance so that no child will be denied admission because of need; Our commitment to pluralism has brought together Jews from across the spectrum of Jewish Boston;
• Our state of the art facility with cutting edge technology enhances our 21st century teaching and learning;
• We provide professional development opportunities that help us attract and retain outstanding teachers and educational leaders; and
• Our junior year trimester in Israel program offers students the opportunity to live and learn in Israel as a formative part of their high school experience.

As Boston’s Jewish community high school, we deeply value our connections to the entire Boston Jewish community. We are proud to be instilling our next generation of Jewish leaders love of learning and with a proud and joyful commitment to Judaism and the Jewish People. After all, it is our children who will sustain our most important institutions and secure the future of our people. This will be the return on your investment in our school and in the sacred mission of Jewish education.

Thank you for your support and commitment.
