Annual Giving
 Your contribution to the Annual Giving Campaign, which supports the School's daily operations, is key to Emery/Weiner's current and future success.
As the lifeblood of EWS, Annual Giving has been making a critical difference since 2002 when the program started with contributions totaling $95,000 from 20% of the parents and a few friends of the School. Today, our program is providing over $200,000 annually to our bottom line from 80% of our parents and friends. Your contributions benefit every student, teacher and family here at EWS!
