Anouncements

“Amirah has been rocking all of our basketball games this year! She cheers at games with such a positive attitude and the perfect amount of sassiness! It makes her so much fun to watch! She’s always cheering for the Spartans as loud as she can, and she’s always ready to jump in and help a teammate learn a new cheer or dance! She also isn’t scared to ask questions and is always looking for ways to improve herself! Amirah has been a wonderful addition to our program and we are so excited to watch her grow as a Spartan Cheerleader! Way to go, Amirah!” – Kelsie Webb, Head Coach Varsity Cheerleading

Spartan Speaker Series – January 24, 2nd lunch, Chambers Center Boardroom

Featuring Suzanne Rutledge, Athens Academy Parent

PR and Communications: Sharing the best stories in the world

Come learn all about the world of communications, journalism, PR and more from Athens Academy parent Suzanne Rutledge. Suzanne brings more than 25 years of corporate and agency public relations experience to her current firm in Athens See.Spark.Go. Earning her PR chops at world-renowned brands including Coca-Cola and Jackson Spalding, her expertise in media relations strategy quickly elevates brand reputations at a national scale. When she isn’t landing hits in Forbes, she is taking advantage of living in Athens with her husband and 15-year-old son and traveling whenever they get the chance. Suzanne is excited to speak to Athens Academy students as they begin to think about college, major, careers and life after Acad.

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.
