The Fisher Family - Maimonides School

Message from the Executive Director
Maimonides School is thrilled to culminate its 70th year with a successful Annual
Campaign and Gala in honor of Jennifer and Scott Tobin.
The school begins its eighth decade with renewed commitment to its mission, pride
and gratitude for its achievements, and confidence that future challenges will be
successfully met by hundreds of dedicated and capable professionals and volunteers.
Our school community is inspired by the generations whose efforts we have been
blessed to inherit.
The Tobins represent a new generation of leadership that is reinvigorating Maimonides
school. They have devoted their time, imagination, skills and resources to the
full range of school activities and priorities, from the classroom to the Board room,
from PTA projects to financial security. They and their children serve as an authentic
model for engaged and committed families.
Our school family, with the usual mixed emotions, salutes the members of the Class
of 2008 as they close this chapter of their lives. This is our school’s largest senior class,
and its record of academic effort, extracurricular accomplishment and commitment
to chesed will be hard to duplicate. We welcome the seniors to one of the country’s
fastest-growing Jewish organizations – the Maimonides School Alumni Association.
We note with sadness the passing of Mr. Abraham Levovitz, beloved leader, mentor,
friend and president of our school. Mr. Levovitz’s efforts over several decades
were largely responsible for the stability and growth of our school. He is profoundly
missed.
As the campaign draws to a close, I extend heartfelt thanks to the Development Committee,
Philip Levy, Debbie Swartz and Jenn Weinstock, and the dozens of volunteer
solicitors who are the backbone of this fundraising effort. The energy and creativity
invested by Risa Gewurz and Allison Mael, chairs of the Annual Gala, are sure to
result in a spectacular event.
Thanks and kudos as well to the administrators and staff of the Accounting and
Development Offices, whose behind-the-scenes efforts and loyal service are cornerstones
of any successful campaign.
