The stage route from Batesville (Independence County) to Jacksonport (Jackson County) ran through Big Bottom/Akron. The community was at one time called Big Bottom for the rich and extensive bottom land on the north side of White River and the west side of Black River. The sign reads “Akron Cemetery” and marks the only remains of a once vibrant community. Leora Cohen, an alumnus of The Lippman School, is the TK through 8th -grade science teacher.Drivers heading south from Newark (Independence County) on Highway 122 will see an isolated cemetery marker at the dividing line between a wooded area and a farm field.
She is also on staff at Hebrew High, the Akron Jewish community's high school administered by the Jewish Community Board of Akron, and she is the staff representative for the Lippman alumni organization. She graduated from Kent State University where she was active on campus with the Woman's Resource Center, facilitating training sessions for students and staff focused on issues including abuse and tolerance. As a past student, I feel a special connection to Lippman and my fond memories of the great teachers I had inspired me to become a teacher myself.Ĭohen graduated Magna Cum Laude, with a BA in K through 12th-grade health education.īeing an educator at The Lippman School is wonderful. One of the great parts of my position is that I get to teach all the different grade levels and I can see how each age connects with science in a different, exciting way. Some of my best memories as a student are from science class and lab, and I'm honored to be carrying on the Lippman legacy.
