Akron Elementary School placed a time capsule in a section of new construction during a ceremony on Oct. 4, 2017.

In front of the entire student body, student council members stuffed the capsule with several items that were collected. Those items included a map of the old school, old identification badges from staff members, a medical kit, an unused cell phone, a bag of Skittles, a yearbook from the 2016-17 school year, letters written by students, and a letter written by Principal Chrissy Mills.

The Akron Elementary School construction project is scheduled to be complete in December 2017.
