Dear Students and Families,
This past Saturday, February 3, more than 150 Kehillah parents, faculty, and supporters came together for our annual gala, K-Fun! We were dazzled with great food, signature drinks, scintillating conversations, high-energy dancing, and all-around fun! The evening ended with a whole group picture and even more dancing. But the K-Fun! doesn't end there!

Our auction, where attendees bid on courtside seats at a Golden State Warriors game, sparkling jewelry, trips, and more, isn't over! We still have several auction items you can win. Don't let the fun end early! Keep an eye out for another email coming soon with more details. | |

A huge thanks to Amy Cole-Farrell, our beloved Drama Teacher, and Kehillah parents Elana Manson, Roxanne Cohen, Laura Radosh Butt, and Caryn Wasserstein, for their leadership in creating such an amazing event.
And even though this year's celebration is still going, mark your calendar for next year's event, because our K-Fun! Gala on February 1, 2025 will be in celebration of Kehillah's 25th birthday!
Sincerely,
| |

Daisy Pellant
