Campaign for Campus Security

We have all deeply felt the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Israel as thousands of families deal with profound personal tragedies from unspeakable atrocities and as a nation confronts overwhelming dangers and challenges. We have davened for them, connected with them, and advocated on their behalf–and must continue to do so.  

We have also experienced greater uncertainties here, as an upsurge in anti-Israel and antisemitic sentiments increases security risks at home. In response, based on recommendations from outside experts and our security committee, Mercaz Academy has revised its security procedures to maintain ever higher levels of vigilance and protection for our school community.  

One key feature is bringing extra security presence to our campus. This allows our students and staff to go about a wide variety of activities more safely. 

The additional expense associated with increasing our security profile is being covered in part through assessments of parents and donations from board members. We turn to the friends and extended family of our school to assist in this important effort.
