People in our family...We are the Akel Family. Michelle, Akel, Karim (2nd grade), & Audrey (4 years old). And yes, Dad's name really is Akel Akel. He loves to tell the story of how he got his name.
Our family likes to have.... kitchen dancing & roller-skating parties; we like to hike (especially to waterfalls) & ride bikes; our favorite games to play include uno, rummy, perfection & charades. Building forts & having bonfires have been a quarantine favorite. We love visiting our family in MO, FL & TX.
Our family pet is....a 12-year-old Cockapoo named Heidi. She loves endless snuggles & tolerates being dressed up by Audrey.
Places our family has lived...Mom grew up in St. Louis and Dad grew up in Florida. We lived in Wauwatosa before moving to Elm Grove in 2011.
Our family loves being a part of SMV because of the strong sense of community we feel here. It is such a welcoming place, with both strong academics and faith formation. We’ve really enjoyed being a part of such a special place!
