Alumni Annual Appeal
Gann Academy is well underway in raising money for the 2011-2012 Annual Appeal. The Annual Appeal directly supports the day to day activities of the school and has an impact on the amount of financial aid we are able to distribute as well as help fund the professional development resources for our teachers. You can make your gift by clicking on the donate now button above which will bring you to a secure credit card link, or by sending a check payable to Gann Academy, Attn: Development Office, 333 Forest Street, Waltham, MA 02452.
If you have any questions about the Alumni Appeal, or would like to volunteer, please call Rachel Books Smoller at 781-642-6800.

Opportunities for Gann Alumni
KOACH, the college program of The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, invites you to the Twenty-second Annual KOACH Kallah, February 23-February 26, 2012 at Boston University in Boston, MA.
Students from campuses throughout North America will come together for a weekend of learning, sharing and friendship. Rabbi Jane Kanarek of Hebrew College will be our scholar-in-residence on the theme of Wandering in the Wilderness of Jewish Identity. Workshops on leadership and essential skills, community service, text study and a phenomenal Shabbat will round out the program. There will be time to meet in small groups and network with students from across the continent.
Accommodations and Registration
Accommodations will be provided at the Holiday Inn in Brookline, a short walk from campus. There will be three to four people in each room and meals are included. Thanks to a generous gift from Women's League for Conservative Judaism, the cost for the Kallah (not including transportation) is only $100. The fee is $54 until January 23, 2012 for Boston University students and $64 thereafter.
Registration
Upon receipt of your application and deposit, additional details will be sent to you. Should you need to cancel your Kallah reservation, please note that refunds will only be available until February 17, 2012.
Plan to arrive in Boston by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 23rd. The program will begin with dinner. The Kallah will conclude at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 26th; return transportation to Logan Airport will be available for a small fee. [
