Get ready for Crêpe Day!

French Crepes Recipe [Video] - Sweet and Savory Meals

The French Club is happy to announce the return of our annual Crêpe Day Bake Sale for St. Barthélemy School in Terrier Rouge, Haiti! Although the school was forced to close last fall due to civil unrest, it was able to reopen this January, and funds raised will provide our sponsored student, Marc Octavia, with not just her education, but also food and healthcare. 

Join us on the Lampkin Patio on March 31st during both lunches to purchase Crêpes and other French desserts! The purchase of any TWO items earns you the chance to be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift card to Pauley’s. And the advisory that purchases the most will win a dress down day (so be sure to identify your advisory when purchasing!) Venmo and cash accepted! Bon appétit!


Junior/Senior Prom is Saturday, April 15 from 8:30pm-11:00pm at Graduate Athens (The Foundry). All attendees will need to have a ticket to enter (don’t worry, tickets are no charge). More details next week!

If you plan on bringing a guest from another school, please have that guest complete this form and return it to the Deans by Monday, April 10. If you do not have a ticket, you will not be allowed to enter.

Congratulations to both the boys and girls golf teams for strong performances this past weekend. The boys finished T-9 in a really strong field with good performance by George Barkley (T-13), John Manuel Newland (T-29), JD Williams (T-47), Wats Dorris and William Beckum. The girls finished 7th out of 22 teams with Kathryn DeLoach finishing (3rd), Emmeline Niolon (T-13), Maddie Conner, and Clara McLanahan all playing well and placing the highest we have ever placed in this event.

In 1981, the Rolling Stones sang “A smile relieves a heart that grieves.” Now, research is showing this to be true. Even a “fake smile” tricks the brain and causes the release of happiness hormones. Watch this interesting video to learn even more about this. AND if you want to learn other ways to increase your happiness, read this brief article to learn how to trigger the release of your happiness hormones- Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, and Endorphins.

Molly Smith - SOTW

“Molly is a lioness– there’s no other word to describe her on the track. She is relentless and fierce in her workouts as well as in competition. I have enjoyed watching her work herself into a position as a college-eligible track athlete while just a sophomore. I predict great accomplishments ahead for her, not just on the track but in life, because she is such a hard worker and a persistent competitor. – Neville Anderson, Head Coach Varsity Track & Field

Jamari Welch - SOTW

“Jamari personifies the definition of a “hard worker” and he is blessed with both talent and mental strength. Recently, his hard work paid off in the form of a new school record with a leap of 21’8″ in the long jump event. Previously that school record stood for 15 years. He has agreed to try a new event to help the team in our quest for a state championship. He is every coach’s dream athlete. – Neville Anderson, Head Coach Varsity Track & Field

Test Prep: We strongly encourage all students to do some type of test preparation before taking the test(s).  Some may choose to use local or national test prep services, but there are many resources that are available to students for free, including Albert.io. In addition to Albert, don’t forget that Khan Academy (also free) remains a very powerful tool for SAT preparation. Next, the College Board’s website contains numerous previously released, full-length tests, along with answer keys and detailed explanations; and ACT provides similar resources that you can use to your advantage.

In 1981, the Rolling Stones sang “A smile relieves a heart that grieves.” Now, research is showing this to be true. Even a “fake smile” tricks the brain and causes the release of happiness hormones. Watch this interesting video to learn even more about this. AND if you want to learn other ways to increase your happiness, read this brief article to learn how to trigger the release of your happiness hormones- Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, and Endorphins.

Lower School Family Science Night is THIS THURSDAY February 23th!!  NHS members should arrive at the LS Barrett Hall at 5:15pm.  Check in with Ms. Neves at the door to find out which station you are working, and then you will get your pizza dinner.  After 15-20 minutes of pizza and fellowship, there will be a short orientation to prepare you for the night and get you familiar with your station.  
 
Remember, this is MANDATORY for all NHS members (unless Ms. Neves is already aware of your approved conflict).  Even those who did not complete the station preference form are expected to attend, and you will be placed at stations according to need rather than your preference. 
 
This is such a fun event, and the Lower School families really enjoy interacting with the Upper School students.  Ms. Neves is excited to see everyone this Thursday!

All 3 Robotics Teams did very well at the FTC Regional Tournament last weekend! The Freshman team, 21947, earned 2nd place in the Control Award. The Varsity Team, 2858, won the Motivate Award and the 3rd place Inspire Award, which qualified them for the Georgia FTC State Championship on February 24 & 25 at the Riverside Preparatory Academy in Gainesville, GA. Congratulations and good luck!

2858 at 2023 ECHS FTC Regional

Literary Magazine


The mock trial team put in three really good rounds on Saturday at our Region competition! We unfortunately did not place well enough to advance, but Lucy Rentz and Collin Edge were recognized for being 4-year participants, Lucy Rentz was recognized as Best Attorney in both of her rounds, and Renee Cargill was awarded Best Witness in her round. The whole team put in so much hard work this season and the coaches are very proud of them!


This year’s spring play will be a sketch comedy show, “low expectations”.

Workshop to learn about the script and the audition process is on Wednesday,  Feb. 8, 2023 in Mrs. Townsend’s room.  Auditions are on Thursday, Feb. 9 – Friday, Feb. 10 in the PH.  All begin at 4:15.  

Rehearsals will begin the following Monday.  

Now is the time to dip those toes into the theatre water.  Give it a try!

See Ms. T is you have any questions.


The Spanish Club would like to thank everyone for their tremendous support of the Pulsera Project. There is one last opportunity to buy a pulsera: tomorrow during break on the Lampkin Patio! They look fun on your backpacks, keys, lunchboxes: whatever! Once again: MUCHAS GRACIAS POR EL APOYO FENOMENAL.


16 ACAD students participated in last weekend’s UGA High School Model United Nations Conference, representing the countries of South Africa and Poland.  They did great work in competition with over 500 students from around Georgia.  Special congratulations go to sophomore Joshua Xie, who was recognized with an Honorable Mention Award for his work in a crisis committee called “The Death of Stalin”!


 
 

Adyson Griggs - SOTW

“Adyson is a wonderful teammate, always bringing fun and thoughtfulness to each practice and game. She is a strong competitor and has a lot of basketball knowledge while also helping others grow as players and people. We are so glad to call 44 a teammate and friend. Go Spartans!” – Brian Olson, Head Coach Varsity Girls Basketball

Ben Shar - SOTW

“Ben was very focused in practice and worked extremely hard. He tied for the team lead in scoring last week averaging 19 points & added 5 rebounds per game. He was excellent on defense as well; the staff is proud of Ben’s improvement throughout the season!” – Don Hurlburt, Head Coach Varsity Boys Basketball

January has been designated Mental Wellness month. It’s a month dedicated to you checking in with yourself and taking the time to improve your life in the areas that you can control. Many people do this in the form of resolutions but all of us can do this by reading and implementing some of the strategies in these Wellness Toolkits.  The Emotional Toolkit is a good place to start. If you need additional help on anything, know that Mr. Sears and others are ready and available to be helpful to you.
