Dear TJ Parents, Alumni Parents, & Grandparents,
As the proud parent of both a TJ senior and sophomore, I feel tremendously fortunate to be associated with this amazing school. I agreed to chair the PF’s Parent Board for a third year because it continues to be so fulfilling to play even a small part in helping to make this great place even stronger. I have seen numerous times how the acquisition of a new piece of equipment can have a profound affect on the work students can accomplish, and hope that we can continue to meet TJ’s current needs in 2011-2012. I’m also excited to be raising leadership gifts for TJ 2.0, our renovation Capital Campaign. I hope you will join me in making TJ a philanthropic priority and supporting the PF in any way you can.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Hilde Kahn, Parent ‘12, ‘14
Chair, Parent Advisory Board
