February 2004 Alums Help School Find New HomeWhen Palo Alto's public school district reclaimed the site of the 13-year-old Mid-Peninsula Jewish Community Day School in 2002, the parents of the displaced K-8 students swung into action. They looked without luck at more than 200 locations and temporarily split the school into two rental spaces, one in San Jose. Eventually, because of the sagging real estate market, they were able to negotiate to buy three gutted office buildings on a 3-acre site at 450 San Antonio Road in Palo Alto, says David Arfin, MBA '91, who was until recently president of the school's board. The school has been renamed Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School in honor of the former attorney general of Israel who prosecuted war criminal Adolph Eichmann and who is a cousin of school philanthropist Gary Lauder, MBA '90. Other primary movers in the campaign to help the 350-student school included Estee Solomon Gray, MBA '84; Stuart Klein, JD/MBA '83; Jerry Behar, MBA '88; Ellie Byrd, MBA '88; and Daniel Leemon, MBA '75. |
