=IC
end of the 2014-2015 school year to
begin a sabbatical to complete doc-
toral studies in Jewish education at
Gratz College in Philadelphia.
He will remain at Akiva and will
teach Judaic and general studies
courses.
During his time as head of school,
Klugerman created and oversaw
improvements in Judaic and general
studies course offerings and electives,
including those he himself designed
and taught.
Brought to the school to make a
change, he worked to revamp the
curriculum, make staff changes,
streamline operations and formulate
the multi-year system of accountabil-
ity for academic programs that still
continues.
Klugerman also coordinated the
educational needs assessment for the
new building, along with Wolfson,
Leib and high school principal, Rabbi
Noam Stein.
"I am happy to see that all the
things I envisioned for Akiva are
coming to fruition and now I can
focus on my studies," Klugerman
said.
Other key administration leader-
ship remains, including high school
assistant principal, Kathy Sklar;
grades 1-8 assistant principal, Lizzy
Doppelt; and Joanne Friday, educa-
tional support service director.
"The unprecedented gifts that
Akiva has just received will allow us
to take great strides in improving the
already strong academic program at
Akiva," Stein said.
As Akiva's mission has always
been, significant improvements will
be made in all areas of Torah and
general learning so that our students
are prepared to examine the entirety
of God's creation.
"Our faculty is going to be engaged
in school-wide collaborative profes-
sional development so that together
as a team we will raise our level of
instruction, engage students more
actively in learning and ensure that
our students develop the skills they
need for the 21st-century world.
At Akiva, you will see more tech-
nology integrated into the classroom,
more support for learners at every
level, and more coordination between
divisions ensuring that skills are
developed, reinforced and tracked
from early childhood through high
school" he said.
"These are going to be exciting
times at Akiva" ❑

Learn And Do
At The Annual
Shofar Factory

T

he Jewish Community
Center of West Bloomfield
will host the Sherrill
Berman Shofar Factory Festival
from noon-3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30.
Scheduled to take place just
before Rosh Hashanah, the annual

that allows adults and children
alike to engage in intriguing activi-

ing is just one
of the many
activities avail-
able at this event;

include Build-a-

The purpose of the shofar facto-

years are encouraged to come back
to enjoy the many new activities.

$10 fee. Bungee jumping (children
strapped into a harness on a super
trampoline) is $5. Family pack-
