<div>Join us to honor and celebrate Jarrod Fischer Green's legacy at <a href="https://www.childrenscommunityschool.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Children's Community School</a>. Jarrod’s leadership and care have grown the school as an institution even as he has also nurtured and taught so many of us, children and adults alike.

<div><strong>Make a gift today in thanks for Jarrod's commitment!</strong> In CCS’s tradition for honoring departing directors, your donation will also help establish a new space within the school named in Jarrod’s honor: stay tuned for future singalongs and lots of other fun, learning, and community-building in Jarrod’s Common Room.

<div><strong>Did you know how great Jarrod is?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jarrod has served as director of CCS since 2016 and will be stepping down from the role in Summer 2023. During his tenure, the school has grown in immeasurable ways. Together, we have
</div>
<div>•	expanded our curriculum and increased our enrollment;
</div>
<div>•	deepened and centered our commitments to racial justice, gender inclusion, and economic equity;
</div>
<div>•	weathered a pandemic, wildfire smoke, and many, many ouchies;
</div>
<div>•	and enjoyed countless singalongs, storytimes, and moments of shared learning and joy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>And there's so much more ahead of us!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jarrod is departing the school at a time of rich opportunity and leaves us poised for transformative growth: within the next three years, we will expand the school’s physical campus at 47th and Kingsessing, allowing us to more than double enrollment. Scaling up will allow us to dramatically increase the financial accessibility of the school, providing free and low-cost tuition to roughly 50% of enrolled families via public programs like PHLpreK and PreKCounts. Expanding will also allow us to continue to invest in equitable, thrivable compensation for our extraordinary teachers and staff.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help us launch this new chapter successfully! This is the first phase of a multi-part campaign aiming to raise $100,000 by Fall 2024 to ensure the success of the expansion and provide a runway for CCS's future growth.
