Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 3rd Grade had a wild time at the Akron Zoo today 🐒🐅🦁🦦🐧🦩🐢🦕🪼

Today our kindergarten students had the opportunity to strengthen their reading skills in a very special way...by reading to our 8th-grade students!

The younger students did a wonderful job practicing their fluency, expression, and confidence while sharing stories with their older peers. Our 8th graders were encouraging role models, making the experience even more meaningful for the kindergartners.

It was a great reminder that learning happens at every age and that building connections across grade levels helps strengthen our entire school community. We are so proud of our young readers and grateful to our 8th graders for taking the time to listen and support them today!

Our 6th-grade students had an amazing time at Eastwood Field today watching YSU take on Milwaukee! ⚾️

Students enjoyed a great day at the ballpark filled with baseball, school spirit, and fun memories with friends. They had the opportunity to interact with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers mascot, explore the stadium, and cheer on the teams throughout the game. Several students even caught souvenir baseballs during the game!

Despite the chilly weather, our students represented our school wonderfully and had a fantastic experience together. Thank you to everyone who helped make this field trip possible!

We celebrated our final school-wide Kabbalat Shabbat of the year with a meaningful program centered on *friendship and loyalty*.

Our 8th grade students led the tefillah with confidence and heart, inspiring our entire school community. We are incredibly proud of them and grateful for such a beautiful way to close the year together. 💙✨
