Safe and Secure – Campus Update #1

Friday, November 9, 2018

First and foremost I hope and pray all of our families are safe and secure, and those who have needed to evacuate have done so. If anyone is in need of anything please let us know. The teachers, families and entire Ilan Ramon community is here for you. A huge thank you to you all of our families to reaching out and caring for each other, opening your homes and ensuring everyone is safe and secure. We are a truly special and sacred community, and I am so proud of us all today.

Our school, at its core, has never been about the physical space or the buildings in which the children learn. Our school is a sacred and special community, founded 25 years ago, because visionaries believed that our community needed its Jewish soul to be nurtured. While I am heartbroken to share the news that the computer lab, the administration building and the bathroom on the lower field have been destroyed, they do not make our school what it has been, what it is and what it will continue to be. Our school is about heart and soul, not about brick and mortar. I wish I had better news to share as we enter Shabbat this evening. As I said earlier today, I want to express a huge thank you to all of our families to reaching out and caring for each other, opening your homes and ensuring everyone is safe and secure. We are a truly special and sacred community, and I am so proud of us all.
