    HELPING THOSE IN NEED

    Akiba is proud to be part of Jewish Family Service's (JFS) 6th Annual Diaper Shower. Help stock JFS' food pantry with diapers, pull-ups, and wipes (unopened, infant to adult sizes). 

    Bins will be in the Early Childhood lobby and school lobby Aug. 31-Sept. 8.  Give your children the experience of giving back by bringing them with you to buy items, and having them drop donations off. We look forward to seeing the boxes fill-up.

    The Akiba 411 will be delivered to your inbox every week to give you the 411 on what's happening at Akiba. If you have new stories or photos to share please contact info@akibaacademy.org.
