Spelling Bee

Yesterday afternoon we held our annual Spelling Bee at the JCC All-Purpose Room. Thirty-six students from grades 3-6 participated. Parents, friends, family, and other Akiva staff and students attended the event.

Students wait for their turn to come to the microphone...


Each student, confidently attempts to spell correctly the word they are given...



...and it gets down to the five remaining students...

Our winner is Sophie and Morissa is our runner-up.

Andrea won the written spelling bee that was held the day before. All three of the winners display one of their prizes.

Congratulations to all three of you!!! Great job!!!

Youngstown Recycling Calendar Contest Winners

Yesterday, two of our students, Sarah and Maddie, attended an awards program sponsored by the Youngstown Litter Control and Recycling Board.
Both students were winners in the Recycling Calendar Contest. Their original art work appears in this year's Recycling calendar. The students obtained copies of the calendar and were also awarded a certificate and a gift card.
A special congratulations also goes out to Mrs. Griffith, our art instructor for her guidance and instruction to these, and to all of the Akiva students.

Congratulations to Maddie, Sarah and Mrs. Griffith !!
