Community Day School Preparing for Major Fundraising Campaign

The Giving Coast

Hershorin Schiff Community Day School, a Sarasota-based private Jewish day school serving children of all faiths in preschool through eighth grade, has announced it will be moving. The school is in the final stages of purchasing a new campus: the former Suncoast School for Innovative Studies / Temple Baptist Church property at the corner of McIntosh and Wilkinson Roads. The next step – the impending $5 million “Owning Our Future” capital campaign – will fund upgrades to the current spaces and the construction of two new buildings. The school plans to move onto its new, nearly 9-acre site, for the 2021-2022 school year. “We are at a critical time in our history and we want to send a clear message that we care and recognize the importance and benefits of a CDS education to the children and to our community as a whole,” said board of trustees co-chair Mitch Blumenthal. “Even in the midst of a pandemic, we have been thrilled at the response from supporters who believe in our educational philosophy and understand how crucial it is for our school to design and own its future.”
