A Brief Summary
Reconstructing Our Future is a $24.2 million fundraising campaign that was created to support the vision of the transformative renovation of our school building and establish a "Fund for the Future" to secure the financial future of our school.
We are venturing to renovate and expand a portion of our building, which will include adding:
- 5,000+ square foot Innovation Center on the second floor that will house a library, learning pods, additional classrooms, and a mezzanine level space.
- A renovation of our current Ulam Gadol to expand seating and separate it from the kitchen.
- A significant upgrade and expansion of the kitchen.
- An additional classroom on the first floor.
- Five additional office spaces throughout the building.
- On the south side of the building, a new outdoor gathering space that can seat up to 300 people will be constructed.
A new "Fund for the Future" will be developed, invested, and managed as an endowment to supplement our school with crucial revenue that will complement tuition and annual fundraising. This Fund for the Future is critical for the long-term success and sustainability of our school.
Why Now?
For more than 38 years, Ronald C. Wornick Jewish Day School has been at the center of Jewish life, learning, and community for families of the North Peninsula. We educate leaders and partner with families to raise mensches. We amplify meaning and joy across the community. We are honored to stand on the shoulders of those who founded this exciting and vital institution.
As the needs of our students and community have evolved, so has our vision for Wornick's growth and future. We are launching the first comprehensive campaign in our school's history, the Reconstructing Our Future Campaign, which will invest in Wornick's building, our outstanding faculty, our caring students, our engaged families, and the North Peninsula Jewish community. Building on decades of success and rooted in our shared history and values, this investment will not only strengthen and sustain Wornick today but create a beacon of light that will shine on the entire North Peninsula Jewish community for generations to come.
