Class of 2021: Student Lounge Redesign & Endowment for Sliding Scale Scholarship

Each year, the eighth grade class presents a gift to the school upon graduation. The gift is a symbol of the class' gratitude to the school and commitment to the future generations of CDS students. The Class of 2021 will redesign the Student Lounge at 601. We have made the best of our current space that looks over Founder’s Hall, but we’ve outgrown the setup installed when the Middle School opened. The makeover will allow the lounge to serve multiple purposes throughout the day, from breakout classroom space to a quiet nook for study. The versatile setup will provide a place to work alone or in teams to meet the diverse needs of the students throughout the day.

The Class of 2021 will also continue the tradition of contributing to the CDS Endowment for Sliding Scale Scholarship, which enables CDS to continue growing its endowment dedicated to sliding scale scholarships. This endowment will leave a lasting legacy, and will provide ongoing support to CDS students and families.

Our goals for the class gift include obtaining 100% participation from the graduating class parents raising support for the CDS Endowment.

To make a gift, you can donate online, send in a check payable (to avoid online credit card fees) to Children’s Day School, or contact Director of Advancement Jeanna Yoo at 415-861-5432 x323 or jeannay@cds-sf.org for more information.

Don’t forget that if your employer matches charitable donations, your gift could double in size. You might also consider making a gift of appreciated stock, as that may provide greater tax benefits from your donation (specifically, avoidance of capital gains tax on the transfer), or make a gift from a donor advised fund.

Thank you!
