Gala

On Sunday, March 11, 2012, Pardes will hold its annual Gala. This year's Gala is being Chaired by Mara Greenberg and will be held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Phoenix.

The funds raised will give Pardes the creative edge in developing the artists, scholars, young leaders and engaged citizens of tomorrow. The Gala is attended by over 300 community members and includes cocktails, food, a silent auction and a live auction.

The success of the Gala is, in large part, due to the many community businesses and individuals that participate. We invite you to join them and consider becoming a sponsor of the event. There are several sponsorship levels to make it easy for you to participate which include tickets to the event, an Ad in our Ad Journal as well as many other incentives.

Campaigns

Growing Beyond Boundaries

Growth at Pardes has been dramatic since the very beginning. Early and ongoing increases in enrollment led to a series of moves – from its original site at Temple Solel to synagogue to synagogue, expanding at one point into a split campus.

Pardes has become one of the fastest growing Jewish day schools in the Valley. Its reputation for academic excellence and its close supportive community continue attracting young parents. After years of trying to make various situations work for students and teachers, the School found a permanent home in 2006. The Pardes Board voted to acquire a beautiful 5-acre 21-classroom former school campus. After renovation, Pardes opened its doors, welcoming students to a spacious, bright, expansive facility created for teaching and designed for children.

A Home of Our Own

Today Pardes is not just growing. In its new setting it is thriving serving a record 302 students this year. They benefit from an expansive campus, a designated Sanctuary, athletic field, kosher kitchen, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor learning and more.

Every such facility, however, comes with a cost. Paying for the campus will require the support of all those Pardes reaches and serves – parents, grandparents, former parents and the Jewish community at large.
