Thursday evening, May 16th, The Berkshire Thespians honored five individuals for their commitment in, and passion for, the performing arts by inducting them into the International Thespian Society. New inductees were senior Melanie Rakoczy and freshmen Eli Ray, Kelsey Adams, Hope Zagar, and Sam Pleva. 

As a lesson in developing creativity, topic continuity and hands-on writing skills, Burton and Ledgemont Elementary Schools recently hosted their yearly Art Show and Young Authors Night for students in grades Kindergarten through 6. 

The Burton Elementary Library “Reading Challenge” was a great success this year. Over 60 students in grades K-6 participated and enjoyed the literacy party that ended the event. We are so proud of our students for their accomplishments in this challenge. They are indeed “Learning to Read  and Reading to Learn.”

Senior Hannah Keough has been awarded the 2019 Cleveland Phi Beta Kappa Award in recognition of her scholarly work as a student at Berkshire.  The Cleveland Association of Phi Beta Kappa held its annual Scholastic Awards Banquet honoring Keough and students similarly selected from the graduating classes of approximately 130 area high schools on Sunday, May 5th at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven.  Phi Beta Kappa, an academic honor society for college students founded in 1776, is the oldest and most prestigious organization of its kind in the United States. Congratulations Hannah on your outstanding honor!
