Golda Och Academy will be honoring Eleanor Kramer for her extraordinary commitment and service to our school over the past 16 years. Since her oldest daughter Arielle started in Kindergarten 16 years ago, Eleanor has dedicated her tremendous talents to serving our school in a multitude of volunteer roles from Ad Journal Co-Chair to President of our Board of Trustees, to current Co-Chair of the Building on Tradition campaign. In addition to all of her extensive efforts on behalf of the school, Eleanor has also contributed to the greater Jewish community serving as a Board Member of Jewish Community Foundation of MetroWest, Women’s Philanthropy, Jewish Family Service, Israel Bonds, and as a Wexner Heritage Fellow. Joining her is husband Marc Kramer who has provided countless hours of volunteer service to our school as Building Committee Chair and as a Trustee of our Foundation.
