Thank you so much to all the volunteers who helped make the Akiva Family BBQ a huge success. The weather cooperated and allowed everyone to enjoy Mr. Hadden's perfectly grilled hot dogs. 
We look forward to seeing everyone at Parent Orientation Night this   coming Tuesday  night.

We enjoyed our first full week of school and look forward to all the upcoming Chagim.

Hot Lunch begins   on Tuesday.

Thank you to all the parents who attended the first board meeting of the year. Special thanks to the parents who joined the board. Akiva board meetings are open to all families and we are always looking for more parents to join the board.

We encourage everyone to attend the Amazing Race on   Sept. 20  which kicks off the UJA campaign. We are very grateful for the support that UJA gives Akiva.
Please take a look at the Free Membership offer for the first year to the House of Jacob. This offer is made to all Akiva families.
 
There will be a Torah High kickoff event  on Sunday  in conjunction with NCSY. Torah High is open to all students in Grade 9-12. Please email Rabbi Rose for more information at  [email protected]

Wishing everyone a relaxing long weekend.

Shabbat Shalom,

After School Clubs
After School Clubs will begin after the Chagim. Sign-up sheets will be going out in the next week or so.
Donations Needed
If anyone has an Ipad or Mac Notebook, that they are not using anymore, we are looking for a few to be donated to the school for our music program.
Crayola Colorcycle
Bring your old markers to Akiva for recycling with Crayola Colorcycle. The markers do not have to be Crayola brand, it can be any brand. Marina Segal will be setting up a bin to collect them and then ship them off for recycling.
