Dear Heilicher Parents,
As you may have read in my Wednesday email about tuition for next year, I will be hosting an important parent forum to provide a brief overview of the school's overall financial picture and our strategic vision and outlook for the coming years.
This forum will highlight the efforts of Heilicher's Board and professional leadership to continue to ensure the long-term sustainability of the school. I will also provide information on how you can be involved in a process to understand Heilicher's business model and assist in developing new strategic initiatives.
Please join me on:
Thursday, February 27
7-7:45 p.m.
East Commons

B'shalom,
Yoni Binus
