A school of our own : the story of the first student-run high school and a new vision for American education
\"A School of Our Own tells the remarkable story of the Independent Project, the first student-run high school in America. Founder Samuel Levin, a high school junior who had already achieved international fame for creating Project Sprout-the first farm-to-school lunch program in the United States-was frustrated with his own education and saw disaffection among his peers. In response, he lobbied for and created a new school based on a few simple ideas about what kids need from their high school experience. The school succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations and went on to be featured in Newsweek, NPR, and the Washington Post. Since its beginnings in 2010, the Independent Project serves as a national model for inspiring student engagement. In creating his school, Samuel collaborated with Susan Engel, the noted developmental psychologist, educator, and author-and Samuel's mother. A School of Our Own is their account of their life-changing year in education, a book that combines poignant stories, educational theory, and practical how-to advice for building new, more engaging educational environments for our children\"-- Provided by publisher.

Curtain set to fall on Kon-Tiki theater ; Trotwood to tear down Dayton-area institution
When the Kon-Tiki theater opened in 1968, it was in the wake of the closing of longtime downtown theater institutions such as the RKO Keith's, Rialto, State and Mayfair. Dayton-area moviegoers were enjoying the larger modern theaters such as the Kon-Tiki and four theaters built in 1967: the Salem Mall, Fox Kettering, Page Manor and Fox North. The Kon-Tiki, built at 4100 Salem Ave., was operated by the Levin family, and was the brainchild and masterpiece of the late Samuel Levin, the oldest of three brothers.
