The time commitment is completely up to you, and you can help out anywhere from once a month to multiple times a week based on your interest.
While this is mostly an opportunity for juniors and seniors who have already taken Geometry and Algebra II, anyone from any grade who thinks they might want to help out is more than welcome to fill out the interest form here: https://forms.gle/F6cNQ3wCTVPgfzRd6.”

Can be anything from something you appreciate about them, to something they taught you, anything you think will brighten their day. We will keep the link open and on ACAD daily for a little over a month, so you have time to think about what you want to say. Don’t send multiple to the SAME person. Maximum 300 characters. Keep it positive. Click here to submit an anonymous message . If you have any questions email @projectupliftacad@gmail.com

Congratulations to senior Clara McLanahanfor being named
Spartans of the Week(Week of November 4):
 
SOTW 2024-25 (2) 5638947 (1)
“Clara is a dominant force on both sides of the ball. As a linebacker, her exceptional timing and instincts to read the opposing offense allow her to disrupt passing lanes and make crucial tackles. Her relentless pursuit of the ball makes her a formidable challenge for any offense. When called upon as quarterback, Clara showcases a strong arm and excellent timing, whether connecting with receivers or taking off to run. Beyond her on-field prowess, Clara is an invaluable asset during practices. She leads team warm-ups, analyzes game film, encourages her teammates, and maintains a positive outlook. Her great attitude and leadership both on and off the field is inspiring, and her contributions to the team’s success this season are undeniable.” 
– Alan Weiler, Head Coach Varsity Flag Football

Can be anything from something you appreciate about them, to something they taught you, anything you think will brighten their day. We will keep the link open and on ACAD daily for a little over a month, so you have time to think about what you want to say. Don’t send multiple to the SAME person. Maximum 300 characters. Keep it positive. Click here to submit an anonymous message . If you have any questions email @projectupliftacad@gmail.com

Marie Curie, a pioneer in physics and chemistry, is celebrated for her groundbreaking research on radioactivity. Her discovery of radium and polonium led to significant advancements in medicine, particularly in cancer treatment. 

The glow-stick necklaces are a fitting symbol of Marie Curie’s legacy, as they emit light through a chemical reaction similar to the radioactive decay she studied. 

Just as the glow-stick necklaces emit light, Curie’s work illuminated new pathways in scientific understanding. By learning more about Curie’s life and contributions, we hope you gain inspiration and appreciation for the power of scientific inquiry and the importance of perseverance in the face of challenges.

The Cross Country team had a strong region meet last week, winning both the boys and girls Championships. However, the strength of the team showed in the JV races where Mason McCurdy and Sloane Turner led the JV teams to a clean sweep as each finished first in their respective races. Congratulations to both of them, and the entire Cross Country teams, on a great Region meet. The future is bright!”

Don’t forget the Bridges Challenge!
 
Last semester, we challenged the student body to reflect on their views of others/actions towards others with quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. This year, we would like to challenge the student body again to step out of their comfort zone and experience a different perspective/culture during Global Diversity Awareness Month. For the entire month of October visit any of the restaurants, stores and events listed on this document, and log your experiences on this google form. Each form submission is counted as 1 point, points will be gathered by advisory. The advisory with the most points (form submissions) will receive an advisory breakfast from Bridges!
 
We hope you enjoy exploring the different communities and events in and around Athens, GA!
