Sunshine on the Playground

We had a beautiful day out at our playground area yesterday and today.




Thought you might enjoy a few pictures of our students as they enjoyed their playground time.

"Meet the Teacher" Night

We had a successful "Meet the Teacher" Night last evening.





Kindergarten parents listen to Mrs. McNally.


The evening was well-attended. Parents learned about the grade level curriculum, the classroom expectations as well as some of the planned activities for this upcoming school year.





Here Mrs. Goist and Mrs. Kohan speak to parents of first graders...



...and this sixth grade group is having way too much fun!


Thanks to all of those parents who attended.

Book Fair

Parents are reminded that our Fall Book Fair begins today. Students will be attending the Book Fair according to the schedule distributed by Mrs. Oddis.


A special thanks goes out to Mrs. Oddis for all that she does to organize and set up the Book Fair for us. THANKS, Mrs. Oddis!


Students from our grade one class try to decide which books to purchase!

OSU vs YSU

Last week our students (with help from their parents) had the opportunity to answer some trivia questions about the Ohio State and the Youngstown State football teams who were to play this weekend.

Here are some photos of the winners.

We had some fun, and there were several prizes given out.

Opening Week


We had a smooth opening to our school year. Sixty-nine students completed their first week at Akiva.

We returned to a building that has had the cove molding replaced throughout the building and the lunchroom and nearly all of the classrooms have been painted. A special thanks to our custodial staff for all of their work over the summer months.


The Aviva teachers and staff are excited about another great year.
