Parenting through the Parsha

Plant Sponsorship
We are looking for plant donations to place above the lockers to make our space more appealing. Please speak to Morah Orly and Mrs. Mashiah about the type and size of plant you would like to donate.
Akiva Academy Used Book Fair!
Everyone is coming together to celebrate literacy at Akiva. We will be holding a used book fair on Wednesday, November 16th. We invite everyone to join us and browse around. Your support of this event will go toward helping us obtain new books and resources for our library and classrooms.
Don't forget to mark the Used Book Fair date on your calendar! We look forward to seeing you during our Book Fair and thank you, in advance, for supporting this great literary fundraiser.

Donating Used Books
If you or your children decide that you want to donate your gently used books and magazines, please drop them off at the School office. Mr. Hadden will store the books and magazines until the big event. Please keep this in mind as you are fall cleaning. The grade three students will help sort the materials along with some parent volunteers. Used Book Fair volunteers are needed to help sort, price, and sell books. If you are interested, please contact the Mr. Hadden.
Each child is invited to visit the book fair with their class during the day of Wednesday, November 16th.
