The Akiva Fun Run, held just before families headed off for Pesach break, was not just a chance for students to stretch their legs—it was a joyful, schoolwide event that brought together students, teachers, and families in support of something bigger than themselves. From the youngest runners in kindergarten to our sixth-grade leaders, everyone hit the course to raise funds and cheer each other on, showing off their Akiva spirit in every step.
This exciting program was all part of a broader initiative from the PTFA (Parent-Teacher-Family Association), whose mission is to build community, support our teachers, and enrich student life. The PTFA organized the Fun Run not just to raise money, but to spark connection and pride. Proceeds from the Fun Run go directly back into the school, teacher appreciation efforts, and student programming—helping ensure every Akiva child has an exceptional and joyful experience.
With music pumping, families cheering, colors flying and kids dashing toward the finish line, the Fun Run was a celebration of movement, community, and the values that make Akiva such a special place.
