This issue includes a recap of the girls basketball season, a review of Mama Ning’s Thai, an overview of the Model UN conference, and so much more!

Women’s History Month

Women’s History Month was established by Congress in 1987 to celebrate the achievements of women in American history. Each day this month, we will recognize women from America and other parts of the world who have made important contributions to humanity.

Queen Nanny

Queen Nanny was an 18th century political leader, warrior, and spiritual advisor for the Windward Maroons, a group of escaped slaves who built a community in the Blue Mountains. Born a member of the Ashanti tribe in present-day Ghana around 1680, Nanny was captured and enslaved on a plantation in Jamaica. After escaping, she organized attacks on plantations, freeing other slaves and gaining food and weapons. These raids forced the British to negotiate a freedom and land agreement with the Windward Maroons, securing communities that still exist today. Queen Nanny is recognized as a national hero in Jamaica and appears on Jamaica’s $500 bill.

Don’t forget you must sign in and out even if you have parent permission to leave! You will serve detention if you forget. We need to know if you are on campus. Thank you!!!

If you need the links to the at-home or return request forms, please email Ms. Rorey: trorey@athensacademy.org. Remember that you should expect to wait 24 hours before you are approved by the school. Therefore, do not submit the request late in the evening or early in the morning and assume that you will immediately have permission to attend online or return to school. Thank you!

Please help us stay healthy so we can continue to be together!

Thank you so much for being diligent about wearing your masks! A few of you are still having trouble and for clarification, here is the process for you:

1. A faculty member will give you a warning.

2. After the warning, that faculty member will infract you and you will serve detention. This will be communicated to your parents as well.

3. After you serve detention, if another infraction occurs, you, your advisor, and your parents will meet with Mrs. Zalac and there will be escalated consequences.

Clubs meet Wednesdays 9:15-9:45! Look out for an email from your club leaders!
