Shearer Invention Contest |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Edge Academy in Akron, Ohio had 8 fifth grade and 4 fourth grade students enter projects into the Shearer Invention Contest. This contest was open to students from Ohio and Pennsylvania in grades 4-8. A total of one hundred and forty one students entered the contest this year.
Students had to demonstrate their ingenuity by creating an invention that incorporates the use of one or more Shearer potato chip bags. I am happy to announce that one of our fifth grade students, Amora Thomas, was selected as a semi-finalist for her invention of the Shearer Snack Purse. We are extremely proud of all of our leaders at the Edge Academy. |

Congratulations to the students and families of The Edge Academy for another very successful food drive! With your support and generosity, we were able to collect 648 pounds of food through the month of December to donate to the Akron Canton Regional Food Bank. That breaks down to 842 meals that were provided for needy families in our area. Donating and reaching out to the surrounding community is a pivotal part of developing leaders for tomorrow. Thank you again for everything you sent in to help us! Happy New Year! |

 We are entering our 3rd year of implementation of The Leader in Me program at The Edge Academy. As a staff, we can honestly say, we have seen nothing but success and growth in our students! The development in their leadership skills has been nothing less than impressive! With the introduction of the 8th Habit last school year, all classrooms are now actively practicing the habits on a daily basis. Please take a moment to chat with your child about the 8 Habits and how they work.

National School Choice Week |
|
|
|
|
The Edge Academy is supporting National School Choice week, which is the week of January 28th! As a charter school, we strongly support the belief that it is a right of families to choose a school that will best educate their child. Students at The Edge were selected to receive School Choice scarves and we are looking forward to them wearing them around the building to support school choice! |

On Monday, November 26, 2012, volunteers from the Akron Blind Center took time to come and visit the 1st grade students at The Edge! The Akron Blind Center is a organization based almost entirely on donations and the dedicated work of their volunteers. They offer support and assistance to people who suffer from severe vision loss or complete blindness, which then causes them to be limited in their ability to get out an about in the community. One of the biggest fundraisers that the Akron Blind Center has annually is their White Cane Walk, to help raise awareness for those with vision limitations. As part of their outreach program, volunteers brought students hand-woven winter hats and talked to the kids about what they do to help those in our community. We look forward to a long relationship with the Akron Blind Center and helping to support the good work they do any way that we can! |
