Mr. Mendy Klein k”z On Lag B’Omer, our community lost one of its most devoted lay leaders, Mr. Mendy Klein z”l. His petira affects not only his family, not only Cleveland, but communities around the world. An Academy parent, grandparent, board member and benefactor, Mr. Mendy Klein’s hakaras hatov for our school, which educated his children and grandchildren, was boundless. As Rabbi Simcha Dessler expressed at the levaya, held at Yavne High School, “Today we have gathered to pay tribute to the life and legacy of an icon in our community and a legend in klal Yisrael, but more than anything else, a remarkable ambassador of Yiddishkeit who cared enough to make a difference in our lives and in communities across the globe. This is the life story of an extraordinary askan whose passion was unique, whose generosity was incredible and whose heart was large enough for all to enter.” The Academy commemorated the shloshim of Mr. Mendy Klein z”l with a siyum on Shisha Sidrei Mishna at the Oakwood Campus and a siyum on Seder Moed at the Taylor Road Campus. 8th grader Shlomo Davidovich conducted the Oakwood siyum and represented the Rabbeim, Kollel members, and junior high school talmidim who studied diligently to achieve this special accomplishment. 6th grader Yisroel Moshe Borochovitz represented his fellow talmidim in the Yeshiva Ketana and concluded Seder Moed, and Rabbi Asher Newman, Menahel, conducted the siyum. Mr. Mendy Klein z”l taught our community passion, responsibility, and the art of giving. His legacy lives on in his family, the yeshivos, schools, kollelim and organizations he helped to build, and in the hearts and minds of all those whose lives he profoundly touched. Our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Mrs. Ita Klein, and his children: Edna and Amir Jaffa, Dina and Shmully Halpern, Yoni and Shoshi Klein and Nati and Chany Klein. lurc urfz hvh Mr. Mendy Klein 5

The complex will be built on the grounds of the Academy’s Oakwood campus and feature state-of-the-art amenities. “During the past 75 years, the Academy has led and nourished the growth of the community and provided outstanding facilities,” stated Mr. Ivan Soclof, Past President of the Academy. “We will continue to meet the challenge by providing a cutting-edge education with state-of-the-art accommodations for our children and grandchildren...well into the future.” JOIN US IN THIS HISTORIC ENDEAVOR! • CREATE AN EVERLASTING LEGACY!

7 Early Childhood The Early Childhood Department recently earned a 3-star rating from Step Up to Quality, a tiered quality rating and improvement system for early learning and development programs in Ohio, after an extensive inspection of all classrooms and interviews with many of our teachers. We are proud of both the quality of education our staff provides as well as the recognition we received from the state. Yomim tovim, of course, are prime opportunities for learning in the Preschool. The Preschool held its annual Purim Chagigah including separate sessions for each age group, a visit from Shu-shu the Clown, Purim pekelach and lots of singing and dancing. Pesach came around the corner, with many of the classes making interactive haggados and mock sedarim. Students also made bedikas chometz bags and scrubbed, vacuumed and cleaned for the upcoming holiday. For Shavuos, students baked fl ower cookies and Har Sinai cupcakes, made fl ower centerpieces, and took a visit to the aron kodesh to see a real Sefer Torah up close. Our three-year-olds and four-year-olds have been working hard on their journals, recording their experiences throughout the year. Our four-year-olds celebrated their siyum on alef-bais and have reached graduation from the Preschool. Mazel Tov to all our parents and grandparents on this momentous occasion, and we wish our students hatzlacha as they move on to the elementary grades. our staff provides as well as the recognition we received from the state. baked fl ower cookies and Har Sinai cupcakes, made fl ower centerpieces, and took a visit to the aron kodesh to see a real
8 Girls Elementary Celebrating Torah learning and living characterized the past few months in the Girls Elementary Division. Our Kindergartners received their very fi rst siddurim and performed heartfelt and inspiring songs about tefi llah with their parents, families and moros in the audience at the Oakwood Campus. The 4th grade fi nished learning all of the ten makkos in Chumash and celebrated by decorating cookies to represent each of the makkos. They also put on a Lamed Tes Melachos Fair in June displaying their knowledge through project-based learning of the 39 categories of activity prohibited on Shabbos. The 5th grade had a number of end-of-the-year celebrations, including a portfolio party, a singing performance and a video performance of skits put on by the girls. The 6th grade completed their Bas Mitzvah program where they studied the zayin nevios, the seven prophetesses, throughout the year as well as the lessons pertaining to the Jewish woman. As a culminating activity, the girls decorated donuts representing each of the nevios and their legacies. Our students ran a Lag B’Omer carnival with booths each illustrative of a different aspect of our yearly theme, “Kol Kevudah Bas Melech,” the inner glory of being a Jewish young woman. Before Shavuos, the elementary girls gathered to hear a parable about the importance of Torah in our lives, that a life of Torah is like a leaf clinging to the life-giving tree. After Shavuos, the girls wrote down ways on leaf shapes that they stuck to the Torah, and their leaves were hung up on a large tree. Mazel Tov to our 6th grade students who have completed their elementary years at the Taylor Road Campus! The 6th grade celebrated with a beautiful graduation brunch and performance, including songs, dances, and skits, for our students and their families. We wish our students much hatzlacha as they move on to 7th grade at Yavne High School.
Yeshiva Ketana The Yeshiva Ketana boasted numerous siyumim and celebrations towards the end of the year. The 3rd grade made a siyum on Sefer Bereishis and the 5th grade on Sefer Shemos. 1st and 4th grades had a Sefer Tehillim siyum. Our After School Learning program concluded a successful year of learning with a siyum in each grade, with 3rd grade completing Meseches Taanis, 4th grade completing Meseches Chagigah, and 5th and 6th grades completing Meseches Shekalim. In celebration of the 14,000 mishnayos learned, the BEAM (Be a Mentch) program, under the direction of Rabbi Shraga Weimer, hosted a grand siyum and raffl e for the 3rd through 6th grades. Grades 3rd through 6th also had a special melaveh malkah earlier in the year. Our Lunchroom Program this year rewarded students for good lunchroom behavior and excellent bentching and the Cocoa Club Early Morning Learning Program continued to provide learning opportunities for boys in 5th and 5th grades before davening. In June, 6th graders researched a great Torah scholar and presented tri-folds including information and photographs about their gadol at the annual Gedolim Fair. Finally, in recognition of excellent behavior lunchtime and during the school day, students in 4th through 6th grades were treated to an end-of-the-year trip to Zip City.

10 Elementary General Studies Making learning hands-on through project-based learning is a priority in the Academy’s General Studies division. The second-half of the year has been fi lled with fairs and special days which give students an opportunity to showcase their learning. 4th graders participated in the Ohio State Fair, creating a futuristic Ohio History Museum, 5th graders created a Wax Museum, with students depicting how they will make a difference in their future chosen careers, and 6th graders participated in the Invention Convention, displaying simple solutions to every-day problems. 4th and 6th grade girls in our Enrichment classes paired together to create inventions or take on projects to better the world. The 6th grade Island Project in Enrichment challenged students to create an island within a geographical location and “sell their island project” to a panel of business professionals. Market Day in the 3rd grade enabled students to learn about entrepreneurship, goods and services, and supply and demand. Our 3rd graders became origami suppliers, smoothie makers, slime creators, and bookmark designers. They also had the opportunity to learn from local business owners who shared their start-up stories. Our 1st and 2nd graders played Twister, shot hoops and had bean-bag tosses to practice phonics rules during Literacy Day to reinforce their studies with the Fundations curriculum. In celebration of the 100th day of learning in Kindergarten, classes created museums depicting groups of items equaling 100. Finally, the girls’ annual Field Day was fi lled with activities and games to practice the various skills our girls have worked on throughout the year in physical education, including sportsmanship, team playing, agility, and coordination. End - of - the - year fi eld trips included a 4th grade trip to Century Village after a novel study and an Ohio history unit and a 5th and 6th grade trip to the Watershed, thanks to a school grant from the water and sewer’s department. Professional Learning Communities continued to thrive this year. Grade level teams, including curriculum coaches and experienced teachers, worked together to learn, grow, develop, and engage learning opportunities for all of their students. In addition, classroom educators met to practice and engage in data-driven discussions to better implement learning targets in their classrooms during the May Professional Day.

The program culminated with a fun-fi lled trip to Detroit, which was accompanied by Rabbi Yitzchok Kahn and Rabbi Chanina Dessler. Over Pesach vacation, many of the talmidim participated in a davening/learning/chesed program. Ashreichem, a new innovative chazara program, proved to be a huge success as the boys reviewed all of the Gemora they learned over the year – two, four and six times! The program provided the talmidim with a special love for chazara and Torah. The Junior High intergenerational program continued to connect our talmidim with the elderly residents at Menorah Park and Montefi ore, thanks to the efforts of board member and volunteer, Mrs. Suri Goldman. As an end of the year celebration, the 8th graders enjoyed an exciting trip to South Bend, Indiana, and Chicago, Illinois, with Rabbi Chaim Sturman, Rabbi Menachem Meisels, and Rabbi Chanina Dessler. The Junior High purchased 30 Chrome Books which were used to administer state testing in Language Arts, Math and Science, as well as the I-Ready diagnostic tests. 7th graders worked on creating ecosystems, newspapers based on novels in Language Arts and U.S. State projects. 8th graders studied water quality using the creek that runs through the Oakwood property, created board games applying mathematics, and wrapped up U.S History until 1865, ending the year studying the Civil War and its leaders.
