TanenbaumCHAT is a school devoted to creating anenvironment where our students can be sociallyconscious, community-minded, academically motivated,and engaged in their Judaism. As parents, we watch ourchildren’s achievements — be it in athletics, academicsor extra-curricular activities — with pride. As alumni, weare proud to have graduated from such a respectedinstitution. As donors, we watch our diverse communitycome together in a shared commitment to Jewish valuesand communal responsibility.

This year saw several developments that will becrucial to our future. The first was, of course, thecompletion of the Kimel Family Education Centre,which marks a huge milestone in the history of theschool. At the same time, we began intensive planningfor the next stage of improvements at our WilmingtonCampus.

Considerable effort went into the Capital Campaignfor the new Kimel Family Education Centre and wecontinue to fundraise to support our Capital Campaignfor both campuses. In addition we hope to secure thelong-term financial health of the school through ‘TheTanenbaumCHAT Legacy EndowmentFund’, which is part of the JewishFoundation of Greater Toronto.Our serious commitment to ongoingfundraising continues the progressmade in this area by the hard work ofour past Presidents and lay leadership,the incredible support of UJA Federation,the philanthropic leadership of theKimel family and Dr. Anne Tanenbaum,and, of course, the dedication of ourhard-working volunteers and the verycapable staff of our Development Office.

Through the pages of this Annual Report you willlearn more about our accomplishments during the lastschool year, and particularly, about the work done bythe Board of Directors and by our Administration. Weensured that both campuses continued to deliver thehigh-quality educational programs that our studentsdeserve and our parents expect. Simply walking downthe halls of either campus brings home the messagethat every second of toil, every ounce of effort was wellworth it.

But for me, the essence of our achievement wasdemonstrated on September 9th during the OpeningCelebration of our new Kimel Family Education Centre.Of course, there were congratulations, speeches and‘thank-you’s’. But the moment that best captured whatwe have created was at the end of the formal ceremony,when a large group of TanenbaumCHAT students cameinto the hall singing and dancing with the Torah. Inthose minutes, it was clear to all of us why we care somuch about Jewish education and why we labour toexpand and improve our facilities and our programming.Those students embodied our community’s vision for

the future and there was not a dry eye inthe house.

In building TanenbaumCHAT, a systemnow embracing over 1,500 students ontwo strategically placed campuses; wehave built a place to learn, a placeto connect with each other, a place tobe serious about Judaism, and a place tocelebrate. It is more than bricks andmortar; TanenbaumCHAT is the place torealize all of our community’s dreams. |

B Y P A U L S H A V I V , M . A . , M . P H I L .

This year was dominated by the opening of the Kimel

Family Education Centre. When we first established our

Richmond Hill campus in the summer of 2000, few of

us dreamed that such a magnificent building lay in our

future.

The opening of the Kimel Centre was the culmination

of seven years of intense planning, including hundreds

of hours of meetings. The official Opening Celebration

on Sunday, September 9th was an opportunity to thank

the many people involved with the entire project,

including our partners at UJA; our joint architects, Guela

Solow-Ruda (Petroff Partnership) and Paul Cravit (CS&P

Architects); and especially Miguel Singer and Sheldon

Goodman, our lay representatives throughout the

process. I also want to give credit to our CFO, Rhona

Birenbaum and to Linda Newstead, our Operations

Manager at TanenbaumCHAT North Campus, who

worked hard to ensure that the building opened on time

and was properly furnished and equipped.

We opened on September 4th with over 1500

students across our two campuses – almost 900 at

TanenbaumCHAT South Campus and over 600

at TanenbaumCHAT Kimel Centre. These are record

enrolments for the school and include over 450 new

students.

During the 2006/2007 school year, our graduates

continued to excel. Among our proudest moments was

when our graduate Danny Richmond (’03) was one of

only two Canadian students chosen to accompany the

Governor General of Canada, Michaëlle Jean, on her trip

In less than a decade, we have doubled our enrolment,

doubled our staff, carried out a major program of improvement

at Wilmington (and will soon commence another),

established a new branch and built a new campus.”

to Africa. Danny earned this because of his unrelenting

personal commitment to raising funds and organizing

volunteer programs for famine relief and for the relief of

poverty in Africa. His humanitarian vision, combined

with continuing Jewish community involvement,

exemplify the best of our school values.

In January of 2007, we welcomed Lori Disenhouse as

our new President of the school and Judy Engel as Chair

of the Board. Both very quickly proved themselves as

clear leaders, navigating their way through school and

community process with great clarity and aplomb. We

thanked Alan Applebaum, our retiring President, and

presented him with a beautiful papercut by the

Jerusalem artist, Archie Granot. We shall miss Alan’s

razor sharp intellect and his feisty style.

On our near horizon is the implementation of further

major improvements to our Wilmington campus that

will allow us to provide a full music program (in parallel

to the new music facilities at Kimel); reaching out to

new Jewish communities north of Highway 7; and, in the

longer term, putting school fundraising – especially our

endowment fund – on a solid and profitable basis.

This is my tenth year at TanenbaumCHAT. In less

than a decade, we have doubled our enrolment,

doubled our staff, carried out a major program of

improvement at Wilmington (and will soon commence

another), established a new branch and built a new

campus. We have strengthened our relationship with

UJA Federation, who are a central partner in our growth.

TanenbaumCHAT truly is a place to be proud. |

Among our proudestmoments was when our graduate DannyRichmond (’03) was oneof only two Canadianstudents chosen toaccompany the Governor General of Canada, MichaëlleJean, on her trip to Africa.

This year has been unique for the students, staff

and Administration at the North Campus. While the

excitement surrounding the construction of the Kimel

Family Education Centre grew, we were also very proud

of the achievements of our staff and students in their

final year in Richmond Hill.

We received an outstandingly positive report from

our Ministry of Education inspection. Only private

schools are fully inspected and since I come from

the public system, the remarkably high standard of

accountability to which our teachers and programs

are held was a revelation to me. Our parents and

stakeholders can be proud that we earned such top

marks from the inspectors and can be confident of the

quality of education our children receive.

Our assessment and evaluation

standards were reviewed against Ministry

of Education guidelines. A professional

development session enabled teachers

to share and discuss individual goals for

marking and measuring progress.

This collaborative approach is an

example of our progress towards establishing a

Professional Learning Community (PLC) model where

our teachers and staff are encouraged to learn from

each other. In the new building, individual work areas

are being created within the staff room to encourage

more professional collaboration. This will be an exciting

way of doing business at TanenbaumCHAT and we look

forward to seeing the benefits.

It can be difficult to quantify the impact of some

of these activities. But happy teachers lead to happy

students and the TanenbaumCHAT North Campus is

a place where students have continued to excel

spiritually, academically, athletically and artistically.

As I sat at the last graduation at the ‘North Campus’

(my first as Principal), the sense of pride

at where we’ve come to was overwhelm-

ing. Although we’ve now closed the door

on the Richmond Hill Campus and

opened an exciting new one at the Kimel

Family Education Centre, it’s obvious

that the spirit of the TanenbaumCHAT

family will always remain constant. |

Happy teachers lead to happy

The success of the South Campus in the 2006 /2007

calendar year was supported by an Administrative

team that is energetic, engaged, sympathetic and

compassionate — and a staff that is resourceful,

multi-talented, knowledgeable and characterized by

determination, foresight and passion.

The South Campus team continued to build a

Professional Learning Community (PLC) that enhances

both the teaching and learning experience. Through

collegial training, all teachers are learning how to be

better educators. Greater collaboration with their peers

is helping department heads become more insightful

leaders.

Professional development workshops held over the

year provided a platform for department

heads to act as mentors for their teams.

These seminars served as the foundation

for future training as we continue along

the path towards an even stronger

teaching and learning community.

Professional development for staff also

focused on assessment and evaluation,

including reviews of formative assessment

and exit keys that ensure we can measure whether our

students are learning the lessons we are teaching. Using

the improved Edline system, more parents are going

online to stay abreast of their child’s progress.

In addition to our academic successes, we have seen

success in a long list of athletic activities, including

basketball, skiing, volleyball and track and field.

TanenbaumCHAT students are demonstrating their own

leadership capabilities in academic extra-curricular

activities, such as Reach for the Top, National Bible

Contest in Israel and the international success of DECA.

The successes we’ve experienced at the South

Campus throughout the 2006 /2007 school year

demonstrated the ripple effect caused by creating a

place built on compassion, collaboration

and communication. Looking back,

we are hopeful that the level of trust,

ingenuity and accountability that we

are encouraging in a collegial leadership

environment has empowered our staff,

and most importantly, our students. |

The Development Committee made it even easier thisyear for alumni, parents and friends of TanenbaumCHATto give back to a school that gives the community somuch. In 2 0 0 6 / 2 0 0 7 , donors were able to makedonations online by visiting www.tanenbaumchat.organd following the ‘Development’ pull-down menu. TheClass of ‘87 used the new service to highlight thefundraising component of their reunion. As a result, thatclass raised more than any other reunion held inTanenbaumCHAT history.

In addition to adopting innovative ways that makeit easier to give, the Development Committeeimplemented several campaigns designed to engagethe community and secure important funding for theschool.

The long-standing ‘Night at the Theatre’ programwas replaced with a production of ‘Bye Bye Birdie’,a collaboration between parents, alumni and staff.Twelve weeks of rehearsals resulted in two entertainingperformances of this amateur production.

The 2006/2007 TanenbaumCHAT Lottery introduceda new prizing format that resulted in strong ticket sales.In addition to a $10,000 grand prize and Cineplex early-bird prize, one of the four fabulous prize packagesincluded a trip to Israel.

The Tribute Cards campaign, which began atRosh Hashanah and continued throughout theyear, demonstrated how a simple idea can producesignificant funds for the school. The $10 card serviceraised nearly $20,000 by helping families mark impor-tant calendar and life events.

The second annual “Graduation L’Chaim” once againhighlighted the generosity of graduating families. In itsfirst two years, this program has raised over $100,000.

From the revenues generated by DevelopmentCommittee activities this year, $109,759 was allocatedto various programs and equipment purchases,including: • The Student Support Fund, which ensures that no

student is prevented from participation in any school

activity for financial reasons, and inappropriate cases, funds the provision oftextbooks and other necessary equipment

• Grants that enable TanenbaumCHATstudents to participate in out-of-townextra-curricular and sporting programs

• A T184 Calculator System (includingcalculators, two laptop computers andvideo projector) for the Math Departmentthat links students’ calculators to acentral system for teaching

• Art Department tools, including a dryingrack and wheel

• Drama Department enhancements, includ-ing blackout curtains and a stage skirt forrisers

The team worked in partnership with UJA to meet with donors and secure significant gifts. Weeklyhard-hat visits of the site gave both the canvassers and the donors the opportunity to witness thesteady and impressive development of the new Kimel Family Education Centre. Donors were also giventhe opportunity to visit the UJA Tomorrow Campaign showroom at the Lipa Green Building, where amulti-media presentation gave them a greater perspective of importance of TanenbaumCHAT as theanchor presence on the Lebovic Campus.

Donor support grew stronger as the dream turned into reality and familiar friends of both the schooland the community stepped forward to attach their names to the project. With a mandate of securinggifts not exceeding $100,000, the team’s determination resulted in over $1-million in new contributionsto the campaign.

The hard work of 2006/2007 resulted in the Kimel Family Education Centre opening its doors thispast September — both on time and on budget. The Capital Campaign Team will continue its work withrenewed excitement as they proudly look to the future in this extraordinary facility and launch theirexciting plans for significant and substantial renovation of the Wilmington South Campus. |

Each year, the Education Committee explores ways toensure that the TanenbaumCHAT delivery of curriculummeets the highest possible standards, and is in accordwith parent and student expectations.

To gain greater insight for determining futureprogramming, the Education Committee participated inthe design of the first TanenbaumCHAT graduate survey.Conducted online, the survey will aim to explore thefollowing areas:

• Educational outcomes • Jewish outcomes • Reflections on the TanenbaumCHAT experience • Future attendance intentions for children of alumni

The results of this comprehensive survey should bedelivered in 2007/2008 and will be invaluable when itcomes to ensuring our curriculum continues to meetthe needs of the community.

Throughout the 2006/2007 school year, theEducation Committee also investigated variousways TanenbaumCHAT could further enhance currenteducational programming. In the area of JewishStudies curriculum development, a review of the Tanakhcurriculum was conducted by Gary Levine, Director ofProfessional Services (Jewish Studies). It proposedestablishing a task force that would design andimplement a staged three-year skills and knowledge-based program, beginning with a grade 9 pilot programin 2007/2008.

In addition, the Ivrit Review that was recommendedin 2005/2006 was implemented in 2006/2007 byDr. Vardit Ringvald of Brandeis University to helpmaintain the high standards of the TanenbaumCHATIvrit program and explore long-term strategies neces-sary to meet changing needs. A preliminary report waspresented to the Education Committee, and a fullreport, including recommendations, will be presentedin 2007/2008.

In the General Studies curriculum, theschool developed a new music program thatwas launched at the Kimel Family EducationCentre at the start of the current school year.As an initial stage of this exciting new program,an instrumental music course was offeredto grade 9 and 10 students. Future stageswill include the development of a purpose-designed Music Department at the SouthCampus that will allow a similar program tobe offered there.

The Education Committee also reaffirmedthe recommendation to carry out a needsassessment for the vocational stream.Funding is still being sought.

To maintain TanenbaumCHAT’s reputationas a leader in learning, evolving technologyand tools were evaluated by the EducationCommittee — from SMART Board technologyat both campuses to T184 Calculator Systemsthat link students’ calculators to a central system forteaching math. By always looking to the future, theEducation Committee is committed to ensuring thatTanenbaumCHAT is able to deliver the highest qualityof education today. |
