April 2026 Update From The D95 Foundation

From Your Executive Director
Hello D95 Community!
With less than a month left in the school year, this is an exciting (and very full) time for our students and families. As a parent of a rising high schooler and rising middle schooler myself, I know just how busy these final weeks can be—but also how meaningful they are as we celebrate growth, milestones, and all that our students have accomplished.
Join me tomorrow at 6:00 PM for INCubator Pitch Night at the Performing Arts Center. You won’t want to miss it. Our student entrepreneurs will take the stage to pitch their businesses, secure real funding, and showcase months of hard work. It’s inspiring, energizing, and a powerful reminder of what your support makes possible.
Be sure to also reserve your spot for our Annual Golf Outing on June 8th at Kemper Lakes! Tickets and sponsorships are now available, and this event plays a critical role in funding the Foundation’s work. Gather a foursome, invite a friend, or consider becoming a sponsor—every level of participation makes a difference.
And finally, we’re so close to reaching our goal for the 3D Interactive Anatomy Table, with the hope of having it ready for students by the start of next school year. If you’ve been thinking about making a gift, now is the moment to act. Your donation today will help bring this transformative learning tool into our classrooms.
Thank you for continuing to show up, give generously, and invest in what’s possible for our students—especially in these final weeks of the school year.
Together for D95 Students,
Tessa Zevallos

Help Us Bring a 3D Interactive Anatomy Table to LZHS!
Imagine a classroom where students don’t just read about the human body—they explore it, layer by layer, in a fully interactive, hands-on way. The 3D Interactive Anatomy Table has the power to transform how our students learn, sparking curiosity, deepening understanding, and opening doors for future careers in science and medicine. As you’ll hear in the video from the Chair of the LZHS Science Department, this is more than a piece of equipment—it’s an investment in meaningful, real-world learning. We’re so close to making this a reality for next school year, and your gift today can help bring this extraordinary opportunity to life for our students.
