In just four months, a school has taken shape on the corner of Wilkinson and McIntosh roads. The future home of the Hershorin-Schiff Community Day School is under construction, with the global pandemic doing nothing to slow it down.
It s been a whirlwind year for Community Day School. In just 11 months, the school raised more than $5.5 million, purchased a nine-acre site and began construction on a 45,000-square-foot facility. This summer, the school will move from its current site at Temple Beth Sholom, and in August the new building will open to the 300 students enrolled at the kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school.
And it all came about because of – not just in spite of – COVID-19.
