With the help of those in the community who are concerned about Jewish continuity and  recognize the unique role that Associated will play in ensuring our collective future, the

Centennial Campaign will result in a $5,000,000 endowment. The proceeds will be used to fund the specific programs and projects that are the backbone of our vision for the future. The Centennial Campaign will provide the initial investment required for the creation of five Centres of Excellence at Associated:

The Centre for Leadership in Education:

Will provide for enhanced professional development of faculty and the recruitment of outstanding educational professionals

The Centre for Technology Integration:

Will research and acquire the most effective technology resources and provide the training and support to ensure maximum impact

The Centre for Community Support and Engagement:

Will provide for programming and resources to connect Associated with the Jewish community and will provide revenue streams to ensure financial accessibility

The Centre for Curricular Development and Assessment:

Will through research, consultation and internal development, ensure that Associated's educational content and methodology is leading-edge. It will also include the Centre for Diverse Learning.

The Centre for Jewish Continuity and Spiritual Development:

Will provide the staffing, programming and resources required to deliver unique and inspirational Jewish experiences for Associated students and families

100 Opportunities for the Future

We are making available only one hundred opportunities to be amongst the visionary leaders of our community and become a Shomer L'Atid - A Guardian of the Future by making a contribution of $50,000 to Associated's Centennial Campaign.

Contributors at this level will have the option of establishing a family endowment fund within the Centennial Fund. This will provide donors with the opportunity to link their families to Associated in perpetuity and create a powerful legacy for future generations.

Our Shomrim L'Atid, Guardians of the Future, will be recognized at our gala celebration in November 2008, in advertisements to appear in daily newspapers and the Jewish media as well as in school publications and communications. A special tribute to our donors, hosted by Henry and Julia Koschitzky, will take place in October of 2008. In addition, permanent recognition on one or all of Associated's campuses is being developed.

The Centennial Campaign is part of a much larger vision for Associated's future. The Centennial Endowment Fund will in fact be part of the $36 million Foundation of Excellence, which will provide Associated with the additional funding required to realize its true potential and will  allow for the complete development of the five Centres of Excellence.

With your participation we will realize our goal of raising $5 million. More importantly, with you as our partners, we will continue to fulfill the promise of excellence in Jewish day school education. We will ensure that our collective commitment to our children - to all of our children - is unwavering. And together, we will, with a great sense pride and accomplishment, guarantee the great future of our community and our People.
