PORTLAND JEWISH ACADEMY 2016 - 2017 Annual Report
November 2017 Cheshvan 5778
Dear Friends of PJA, We are pleased to present Portland Jewish Academy’s annual report for the 2016-17/5777 academic year. This report outlines our stewardship of funds, highlights our financial health, and celebrates our school’s achievements, focusing on our new strategic plan. Your support makes a significant impact upon the daily experiences in our classrooms as well as our school-wide programs, and we thank you for your generosity. This year we completed our new strategic plan. The plan, approved unanimously by PJA’s Board of Directors, establishes priorities for the coming years as we seek to further strengthen our school Kehillah (community). Organized around four broad themes – School Identity & Community, Ensuring Student Success, Enrollment Management, and Financial Strength – the plan identifies initiatives to pursue in the next few years. We are grateful to the many school families, students, alumni, alumni parents, faculty, staff and community members who participated in the development of the strategic plan. We want to thank our many donors who have enabled us to begin to achieve our strategic goals. This past year saw a heightened emphasis on project-based learning, integration of educational technology, and student support, and your gifts made it possible for us to secure additional equipment, professional development and personnel. Our investment in these and other school programs led to stronger retention and recruitment, culminating in an increase in preschool enrollment of more than 20% and middle school enrollment of more than 30% for the 5778 (2017-18) academic year! We also planned the construction of our new PJA Learning Commons, including a renovated library space, Beit Midrash, student kitchen, private student lavatory, and music studio. It is hard to overstate the importance of the PJA Annual Auction. The auction raises funds for financial assistance, making it possible for more than half of our day school students to attend PJA. Moreover, in recent years, the auction has also allowed us to add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the school’s endowment, further ensuring our long-term financial health. Other major gifts supported financial aid and our annual 8th grade Israel trip, and our new PJA Giving Circle funded a greenhouse for our school garden. We also successfully completed the capital campaign for the Learning Commons, which will be in full use by our students later this fall. By providing more flexible spaces for students and teachers to work collaboratively, in small groups and individually, the Learning Commons will provide space for greater differentiation, enhanced project work, and a variety of spaces for classes to learn together. Our new strategic plan charts an ambitious course for our school. It articulates our commitment to serve every member of our diverse community with a challenging, student-centered educational program that fosters collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving skills, and meets the individual needs of each child. We are proud to be your partners in educating the Jewish leaders of tomorrow and empowering them to think for themselves and work for the world.

School Identity and Community
Capitalize upon and strengthen the strong sense of community at PJA.
Limmud 2.0
Limmud 2.0 is an adult and family education program open to all PJA families. The goal of Limmud 2.0 is to give families opportunities to learn together, whether side by side in a PJA classroom, or enjoying a family program centered around Shabbat, Jewish holidays or Israel. Limmud 2.0 runs Cafe Limmud, an adult education program which is ongoing throughout the school year. Cafe Limmud is facilitated by community rabbis and Jewish educators who share learning in a casual atmosphere in our PJA Beit Midrash. Cafe Limmud meets every other week and is open to all on a drop-in basis. Other programs Limmud 2.0 provides include Digging Torah (co-sponsored with the Institute for Judaic Studies), Shabbat (or holiday) nature hikes, Challah baking, and book talks.
Service Learning
PJA’s robust service learning program includes monthly school wide service collections, individual projects at every grade level, and focused and intentional learning about the value of service through a Jewish lens. Grade level projects include cooking, visiting Rose Schnitzer Manor regularly, collecting warm clothing in the winter to be distributed to shelters, volunteering at the Oregon Food Bank, pulling ivy at a local park, or serving a meal at a local shelter. Eighth graders complete a capstone project. Students are guided by our service learning coordinator, Elana Cohn-Rozansky, who works with students to choose a topic of interest and a related service project. Students work with faculty to research their topic and consider their Capstone Project through a Jewish Lens, bringing Jewish text and sources to further deepen their work.
Mishpachot
In 2016, we launched the Mishpachot initiative. Mishpachot – families - are a way for PJA students across grade levels to get to know each other better and develop stronger bonds as a community. Each mishpacha was named for a tree found in the Torah. There is a student from every grade level in each mishpacha. During all of our all-school assemblies students sit in mishpachot, with 8th graders as their leaders. Teachers are assigned to mischpachot as well. During mishpacha gatherings, students participate in short conversations, sing songs together and learn Israeli folk dances. They get to know each other as families and cherish the moments in the hall or during recess when they see a member of their mishpacha.

ensuring student success Increase PJA’s ability to support a diverse student body to ensure the success of all PJA students.
STEAM Day
STEAM Day is an exciting day of collaborative learning led by students in grades k-8. STEAM - science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics - provides opportunities to do integrated projects and helps students see the connections among different disciplines. During STEAM Day, each grade level plans an integrated activity/project which they then teach to the grade levels above and below them. STEAM Day gives all of our students an opportunity to teach, learn, engage, and explore at a variety of different levels of engagement. It is a wonderful learning opportunity for all. As we continue to build our STEAM day we hope to integrate Jewish Studies with STEAM and to include families in our program.
Student Support Consultant
PJA was fortunate to receive a Stage of Life Grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, along with Maayan Torah and Maimonides Jewish Day Schools. The grant has afforded our three schools the opportunity to hire a part time consultant to work with teachers, students and families in the area of student support. Joanie Krug brings many years of experience and a deep level of knowledge to her work as a Support Services Consultant. During her time at PJA she has trained teachers in the use of dialogue circles, given parent/guardian workshops, attended meetings with families and faculty, and has met with students in the classroom and in small groups. We have benefited a great deal from her deep understanding of children and schools.
Science Club
Each year, students in 5th – 8th grades have the opportunity to participate in PJA’s Science Club, supervised by Middle School Science Teacher, Sara Morton. Students can choose to pose a question that can be answered with a scientific experiment, or they can choose an engineering problem to solve. Projects vary widely, and projects have included experiments related to plant growth, fingerprinting, and radioactive decay as well as engineering projects related to magnetic levitation and hovercrafts, among many others. Students even have the opportunity to participate in the Intel Middle School Science Competition, if they choose to do so!

enrollment management
Strengthen and increase recruitment and retention at PJA.
Retention and Growth of Middle School
PJA has worked diligently to improve our retention and increase admission in our Middle School. Several years ago we created the Middle School Round Table, an evening event for our 4th and 5th grade parent/guardians, to meet and discuss middle school curriculum with our faculty over dinner and wine. We also pair up current alumni parents with our 5th grade families to talk about what our middle school has to offer our students. We are happy to report that our retention from 5th to 6th grade was remarkable this year. From last year to this year, the middle school has grown over 30%.
Parent Ambassadors
PJA ambassadors are a group of current PJA family volunteers who meet regularly and volunteer at admission and retention events. They are an important sounding board for admission and speak with potential families.
Outreach events
Outreach events are ‘friendraisers,’ and help PJA gain name recognition in other parts of Portland outside of the Southwest area. They help with recruitment and we gain new students from these events.
All of these programs work in tandem for admission- PJA ambassadors volunteer at outreach events such as Passover for Preschoolers in Southeast Portland, and at the Middle School Round Table, a retention event for our 4th and 5th grade families.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH Work to fill sections to capacity and optimize enrollment to improve our financial strength for PJA to continue to achieve our mission.
Launch endowment campaign
The PJA Endowment continues to grow, and we have surpassed the $1 million dollar mark in terms of funds currently under management. Best practices suggest that an endowment should be equal to or larger than the annual budget, and we are planning to embark upon an endowment campaign. Auction proceeds (above immediate operating needs), unrestricted legacy gifts, and endowment-directed gifts all provide opportunities to ensure PJA’s financial strength for generations to come.
Explore new fundraising opportunities and models
“The PJA Family Giving Circle funds experiential, differentiating projects within PJA based on the Middot (values) emphasizing Limmud (Study), Kehillah (Community), and Akhrayut (Responsibility).” The first cohort of the PJA Family Giving Circle was comprised of seven families who pooled their Annual Gifts to support a project at PJA. Rob La Forte and Carol Richmond were our co-chairs, and we examined Jewish values as they relate to philanthropy and charted a direction for the Giving Circle. After engaging conversations and deliberations, the group decided to build a new PJA Greenhouse with their funds. In the next year, we will expand the number of families engaged and look at other ways of increasing the impact of gifts to the school.
Please note that the initiatives described in this Annual Report are only representative of the programs outlined in the Strategic Plan. To review the complete plan, please see www.pjaproud.org/strategicplan.
