The Bostons awakened within in my the courage to let myself breathe, be, and experience the world around me. A poet at heart, this part of my soul liberated during my Country Day years has shaped the rest of my life for the better. I do not even like purple; yet, when I think of Marsha and Bruce, my love sent out into the universe expands in rays of lilac. Love to the Bostons!

We’re so happy to support La Jolla Country Day School — it’s such a special community. Our family has seen firsthand the incredible impact the school has on its students — from the caring teachers and strong academics to the emphasis on character, creativity, and kindness. With our daughter Sydney Ziman there now and hopes that our other children will follow, it means a lot to give back to a place that already feels like home. And with my husband being an alum, it’s wonderful to see the same spirit and excellence continuing for the next generation!
