Welcome to the Akros Middle School - 265 Park Street, Akron OH 44304 - 330.374.6704

On a recent visit from the Ohio Coalition for Quality Education, both The Edge Academy and Akros Middle School were presented with the distinction of being "All-Star" School. Our visitors, Ms. Sue Westendorf and Ms. Beth Lear, from the OCQE, enjoyed touring both schools to see all of the learning and leadership occurring in our buildings. We are all so proud of the hard work of our students, staff and parents. Educating the future is definitely a team effort and we couldn't do it without you! |

 What exciting news! As we closed out the first 9 weeks of the school year 64 students were invited to attend the good behavior field trip. How do you earn such a field trip you may ask? To earn the good behavior field trip each 9 weeks, the students must have fewer than 5 violations and 5 absences. In this 9 week period, the field trip student leadership team chose laser tag for the field trip of fun. The 64 students were invited to a full day trip to Amazone in Medina, Ohio where they had all day play and laser tag, as well as 10 free tokens to play in the arcade. Students enjoyed hanging out together and we received so many compliments from the staff of Amazone as well as parents who brought their young ones in during the time we were there. We are so very proud of the students for displaying great leadership behavior in and out of the school!
Let's see how many students earn the second 9 weeks good behavior field trip. Can't wait to see!!

At Akros Middle School, we are getting settled in to the new school year wonderfully! Students are working hard and striving to work on their personal learning and leadership goals. We are looking forward to watching them continue to develop into the leaders of tomorrow throughout this school year.
New this school year is the option for teachers to create a website for their classrooms. Links to those sites will be linked to the main Akros Middle School website.

Akros Middle School's Lighthouse Team's current project is with the Haven of Rest.
Lighthouse has been taking trips to tour and volunteer there since March 1. So far, Lighthouse has taken a tour, helped set up and cleaned up a lunch service. Many of Akros's students have had a chance to help out by making placemats and encouragement cards. Akros is also helping out by sending over leftover food from lunches. Lighthouse will hopefully be helping in many ways. We are very thankful for the opportunity to work with this outreach program.

On Friday, N ovember 16, 2012, nine students were able to participate in a unique experience of going to Art Day at The Q. The afternoon at The Q was spent with artists who work at The Q in various parts of the Art Department. Students learned about graphic deisgning, marketing and film-making from some of the artists who work at The Q every day promoting our Cleveland teams. After the art workshop, students were treated to a behind the scenes tour of The Q, checking it out from top to bottom! After a quick dinner at Tower City, we returned to watch the exciting Lake Erie Monsters! All of the students had a great experience and couldn't wait to share their stories! |

Thank You to Mrs. Burchfield and Mr. Dudas for allowing us the opportunity to experience the Youth Leadership Luncheon. |

Well, the Off the Hook Crochet Club has started for the 2012-2013 school year with the most impressive number of students we have ever had! The dedication and interest of these students to learn this craft is amazing and we can not wait to see all of the wonderful things they will be able to make this school year. The ultimate goal will be for each student to make at least one item, a scarf, hat or even blanket, that can be donated to a local shelter. In order for students to participate, they must have a permission slip filled out and turned into Ms. DeMoss before attending. Off the Hook meets every Thursday in the Art Room until 4pm and students must have transportation home.
