Celebrating Public Education: Several students in 8th grade each gave a short presentation in the format of inspirational TedTalks. Students chose the topics of limited screen time to experience the outdoors, integrity, and trust. Each communicated their concepts and thoughts very confidently. Well done, Mountaineers!

Akron Elementary School students have been exploring outer space in their very own mobile planetarium. StarLab has been at the school for the last week and has generated much excitement from students!
How would you answer this first grade writing prompt?
These students participated in the six-week Attollo Recruit program, meeting before school from 5:30 – 7:00 AM three times a week! They focused on Six Pillars – Strong Mind, Competition, Resiliency, Accountability, Sacrifice, and Finishing Strong. Students set individualized plans of action and can NOW also solve the Rubiks Cube in under two minutes. IMPRESSIVE! By the end of the six weeks, students have shared they feel empowered by their hard work and dedication and “feel like they can accomplish anything.”
FANTASTIC!
Congrats, Mary!
