    The CCJDS Gala Tradition

    Hosted by the CCJDS Parents Association, our annual gala is a community-wide celebration. Come meet parents, grandparents, teachers and community leaders – all of the people who make our school possible. The gala is also a vital fundraiser. This year CCJDS must raise over $600,000 in donations to fill the gap between tuition and the full cost of providing an outstanding education. The gala supports all aspects of school operations – from hiring outstanding teachers to providing state-of-the-art classroom technology and innovative curriculum to offering scholarships that help our student community grow and thrive. Your support helps to ensure that we can continue to nurture the future leaders of our community as thinkers, writers, problem-solvers and, above all, mensches. 

    Thank you to everyone who makes the gala a huge success!
