“Read has been amazing this season! She is always ready to cheer on the Spartans, and does everything with a big smile on her face! Read is a natural leader who is always helping guide her team in a positive direction. She cheers loud and proud for Athens Academy, and she is always one of the first people to call a cheer when we need it. She is responsible, committed, and helpful to her teammates. She asks great questions and is always seeking ways to improve her own skills, as well as looking for ways to help improve the entire team. Read comes to every practice and game with a positive attitude and brings such a light wherever she goes! Great job, Read! 🙂” – Kelsie Webb, Head Coach, Varsity Cheerleading

NHS signup to volunteer at Lower School Science Night!
We are excited that our NHS service project is back up and running after a year off due to COVID! Remember, this is mandatory for all current NHS members. The event will be masks REQUIRED for all in attendance, and NHS volunteers will be given a pizza dinner before the event. The event will take place on Thursday February 24 from 6-7:30pm, and volunteers should arrive NO LATER than 5:30pm and plan to stay until 8pm.
This week all current active NHS members will begin receiving an email with a google form to sign up for their station. Please select your top 5 locations to volunteer, and the locations will be filled up on a first come first served basis. The invitation to sign up will be sent to Senior NHS members on Tuesday 1/25 and Junior NHS members on Wednesday 1/26. If you have any questions please contact Ms. Neves.
ACAD Talks is coming up this March. If you are interested in giving a talk— even if you don’t have a particular talk in mind— check out this Goggle Form. The event is modeled after TED Talks, and students can give a talk on research, ideas, or experiences of their choice. Email Ms. Towery with questions.
