Heilicher Annual Fund Update
As we approach 2019 year-end, please make your gift to the Heilicher Annual Fund.
The Heilicher Annual Fund is the core of the school's unrestricted fundraising campaign. Your Annual Fund gift helps us continue to enhance our core academic, Judaic, arts, and athletics programs. Your gift also helps keep our school financially accessible to families.
To date the Annual Fund has raised over $311,000 from parents, grandparents, alumni parents and grandparents, and community members. Our goal is to raise $350,000+ with 100% parent and grandparent participation before the end of the school year. You may also consider making a
pledge
to Heilicher now, and paying it any time before June 30, 2020.

All-School Hanukah Extravaganza
Join us for a Hanukah Extravaganza on Friday, December 20, 2:35 p.m. when our students will become a Greek Chorus. They will narrate the Hanukah story in rhyming couplets, creating percussive harmonies to share plot lines of courage and resistance. Some will dance, all will sing, the choir will perform, and a freilich (fun) time will be had by all.
Parents, we could use some help with tear down and set up after All-School Lunch that day beginning at 12:45. If you could help on Friday, December 20, please contact Wendy Goldberg.
