ACAD Miracle’s Dance Marathon is Saturday, February 21, from 5:00-9:00pm in the Tillman Center! This is a fun event that includes games, food, and fundraising for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. It’s a great chance to get free dinner, hang out, and fundraise for a chance to get Miracle swag like t-shirts and tumblers.

In order to register for the event, you need to create a Donor Drive account using this link: https://events.dancemarathon.com/ACAD26. This will be your ticket into the event, and as an added bonus, it will also give you access to UGA’s Dance Marathon for even more food, swag, and fun. 

Mock Trial Results!

The team tied for 1st in the Region and swept individual awards in all 3 rounds. Best Witness awards went to Emma-Jane, Sage and Sumit, while Best Attorney awards went to Connor and HT (x2). They compete again in the District tournament in two weeks.

It is week 2 of Black History Month and we are celebrating local Georgians that have impacted their community through athletics and mentorship. Next week, we are showcasing the arts. Stay tuned!

A summit by youth, for youth.
This year’s summit invites participants to reflect on moments of resilience in our shared past and explore how they can inspire meaningful action.

This dynamic, youth-led event is designed to amplify the power of young people to learn, connect, and lead. Planned by youth for youth, the Summit creates a space for students from across the country to come together, build leadership skills, and explore how they can create meaningful change in their schools and communities.

The Youth Leadership Summit is created and led by NYLC’s Youth Advisory Council. Every session, activity, and project reflects youth voices, ensuring the event speaks directly to the issues and opportunities that matter most to students today.

Be part of a movement of young leaders who are shaping the future. Whether you’re just starting your leadership journey or already leading change, the Youth Leadership Summit is for you.

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!!

  • Students may dress down all week!
  • The Tillman Center will be open for lunch from 11:55-12:25.

Friday, Nov. 21 A Week, A Day, 9:45 Advisory
 

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

Our Smile Drive was a huge success! Athens Academy alone donated 650 toothbrushes, 19 toothpastes, and 31 flosses. In total, they ended up with 1,707 toothbrushes, 50 toothpastes, and 52 flosses. All were delivered to the City of Refuge! They were so thankful!

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!!

  • Exploring this contrast between the holidays and the winter season

  • Where a new tradition is created OR destroyed

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

 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

Hello Students:

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!!
 
 
 
 
A vendor who offers letter jackets will be on campus, in the Tillman Center, Wednesday, Nov. 12th during both lunch periods. He will have sample sizes to try on for those interested as well as ordering information.  All orders are done online so a link will be provided.
 
Anyone interested who has earned a varsity letter in a school sport or activity (OAP, Literary, etc) is eligible to purchase a letter jacket.
 
If you have any questions, please reach out to Coach Petroski!
Girls Who Code and Young Women Lead are doing a joint journal drive all of this week for Project Safe!! Please bring in any unused and new journals! Journals can not have any pages ripped out or any writing in them. There will be a collection box outside the Dean’s office and we will be accepting them at the bake sale!
