MA’AYAN ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
We give to the Ma'ayan Annual Campaign because our children celebrating Jewish life daily is so very important to our future, now more than ever. At CESJDS, the holistic education approach provides every student with a meaningful way for them to engage academically and spiritually. Through cross cutting concepts embedded in all subject areas, the curriculum combines in a way that has students making connections within their school community and the world.

Ma'ayan - A Natural Spring 2024 - Annual Campaign
At the heart of our community lies our Ma’ayan, a natural spring. Our Ma’ayan is the source that feeds our students and community, nourishing us with a deep understanding and appreciation for our Jewish heritage.
The Ma'ayan Annual Campaign is more than fundraising; it is a collective journey to nurture and celebrate the distinct elements that make CESJDS exceptional. Support for Ma'ayan has a direct and immediate impact on shaping the experiences of our students, faculty, and staff. From enriching Jewish life programming to providing athletic opportunities, supporting arts programs, offering tuition assistance, and enhancing both Jewish and secular educational experiences.
From the exceptional academic programs to the warm and inclusive community, everything about CESJDS has exceeded our expectations. The staff and faculty are incredibly dedicated to providing a top-notch education and inspiring our kids to become the best versions of themselves. We are grateful for the wonderful experiences and opportunities that our kids have had at CESJDS. Supporting the annual campaign helps ensure that future generations will benefit from everything that CESJDS has to offer and we're honored to take part.
