Akros Middle school shared Veterans Day with the Summit County Veterans Service Commission (VSC).
The VSC holds an educational event honoring Veterans annually, explaining the importance of patriotism and service. The students spent the afternoon with Veterans of many different branches and eras, listening to their stories and heroism. Many of the students paid tribute to the veterans by writing poems. We at the school wish to thank all veterans that have served and protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

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!!
