Help us Reach our Milestones!

If we reach $450,00 by 11:00 a.m. our school leadership will dress in silly costumes! 

If we reach $500,000 by 1:00 p.m.  students will get to come to school in their pajamas on a day to be announced.

If we reach $550,000 by 3:00 p.m. Head of School Gary Weisserman will be honey'd (slimed) by division heads for our students and families to watch live on the BZ Field of Dreams.

Introducing Bernard Zell's First Annual Day of Giving

This year has been a year of firsts for many of us—the first national pandemic of our lifetime, the first experience with prolonged virtual learning, extended quality time with family (maybe even too extended at times!), our first holiday celebrations over Zoom, and so on. So we thought we’d add one more first to the list: Bernard Zell’s FIRST Day of Giving: Thursday, October 29, 2020.
