Update from the Jewish Community Center:
The JCC has received the “all-clear” by all of the emergency services associated with the incident and have been given the go-ahead to re-open. We are resuming all programming including our school, clubs, and ACE events. Staff and board members will be available at the JCC today and tomorrow morning to answer any questions.
The security of our families, our community, and the staff remains of the utmost importance to us. We thank the local law enforcement and the community for their incredible support. We also want to thank the incredible staff of the JCC who helped support our children.
