Please join us on the Lampkin Patio TODAY during both lunches to purchase Crêpes (with delicious fillings!) and other French desserts, too! Venmo and cash accepted! Bon appétit!

ACAD Talks is our annual event, designed after TED Talks. Students give a ~10 minute presentation on a topic of their choice: academic, personal, contemporary– anything! Complete the survey if you are interested in giving a talk. This does not commit you to give a talk; it just helps us gather interest and plan.

Feel free to email Ms. Towery with any questions: ktowery@athensacademy.org

With December arriving, the bookshelf display is looking for book recommendations associated with the winter season. The theme for this month is holiday/gift-giving, so we hope to gather your responses through the Google Form survey we’ve attached to incorporate them onto the display!

The display will be ready as soon as Tuesday, December 2, and we will add student recommendations/inputs throughout the week! Here is the survey link: December Bookshelf Display Survey

DON’T FORGET

Due to the government shutdown, many households who rely on WIC and SNAP benefits are facing heartbreaking uncertainty about their next meal. Lake Country Rural Health Initiative is hosting a Food/Formula Drive to support local families affected by this crisis. If you all want to help out during the holiday season, you can donate canned foods, baby formula, baby bottles, and/or baby food. I can come by anytime from November 1-December 31 to pick up any donations y’all may have and bring them to the clinic. Thanks!!

Snapshots will now be held on Dec. 11, 2025 at 7pm in the Presentation Hall. Free Admission. This performance is the semester’s final exam for Intro To Acting, Acting, and Advanced Acting classes. Here you will see the scenes and monologues the acting students have been working on.

Performers include Errin Austin, Oran Ledford, Mariah Henderson, Joselyn Sanchez, Jaylon Clark, Julia Adang, Ella Dendy, Dyllan Adams, Elizabeth Paschal, Sofia Dean, Adair Lang, Hannah Dillard, Rebecca Peterson, Millie Robert’s, and Elaina Johnson. Come out and support your ACAD actors!

Note: all classes will meet on Friday, December 12, so students and teachers will meet before exam week.

About a character who really, really loves the holidays OR really, really hates them

Due to the government shutdown, many households who rely on WIC and SNAP benefits are facing heartbreaking uncertainty about their next meal. Lake Country Rural Health Initiative is hosting a Food/Formula Drive to support local families affected by this crisis. If you all want to help out during the holiday season, you can donate canned foods, baby formula, baby bottles, and/or baby food. I can come by anytime from November 1-December 31 to pick up any donations y’all may have and bring them to the clinic. Thanks!!

The Community Closet is TODAY in Myers from 8:00-3:20! Stop by ladies!

From Sloane Turner:

So excited to announce the community closet is set up and ready to go for today. I’m very excited with how it turned out, and hope everyone will come check it out during their free time today. Getting clothes second hand is a great way to reduce environmental impact, save money, and find unique pieces. Around 92 million tons of fashion waste is sent to the landfill each year, a number that only continues to rise. Though an event like this seems negligible to a number as big as 92 million, starting small is the best way to make an impact.

So excited to see y’all there

On Thursday during seminar, you will receive an email from Registrar@athensacademy.org (from Mrs. Chester) with a Google Form Link to sign up for Spring Semester Electives. Please take a look at the following Spring Elective Offerings to see which courses you may want to sign up to take in January!

All students should be enrolled in at least SIX classes for the Spring Semester (unless you have been granted an exception through the Upper School Office and Mrs. Zalac). For most students, this consists of your FIVE academic courses and then one elective (elective could be academic, fine arts or athletic). Some students do have SIX academic courses and an additional elective. Most electives are taken per semester (orchestra is an exception as it is a year-long elective), and so many of you need to indicate which elective you would like to take for the Spring 2026 semester.

A comprehensive list of ALL electives (and the blocks they are offered) is linked again HERE. Please review the elective offerings and select your FIRST and SECOND choices. Please only select electives that will fit into your current schedule. For instance, if you have an academic class during a given block, you cannot also take an elective during that same block! We cannot shuffle around year-long academic courses to accommodate elective choices.

Where a monster is disguised as a character OR a character is disguised as a monster
That takes place somewhere that appears normal upon first glance, but isn’t
About a fall (this can be the season, an object falling, or a metaphorical fall like a fall from grace, etc.)

October is the month where the leaves start to change, the temperature begins to drop, and the nights get longer. All of these changes lend themselves to an element of spookiness which is mirrored in the celebration of Halloween at the end of the month. Write a piece:

Where a monster is disguised as a character OR a character is disguised as a monster
That takes place somewhere that appears normal upon first glance, but isn’t
About a fall (this can be the season, an object falling, or a metaphorical fall like a fall from grace, etc.)

Submit your pieces here! You DO NOT have to respond to the prompts; submit any pieces that you have!
