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



With December arriving, the bookshelf display is looking for book recommendations associated with the winter season. The theme for this month is holiday/gift-giving, so we hope to gather your responses through the Google Form survey we’ve attached to incorporate them onto the display! 
The display will be ready as soon as Tuesday, December 2, and we will add student recommendations/inputs throughout the week!  Here is the survey link: December Bookshelf Display Survey


DON’T FORGET

 
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!!
 

This is a reminder that the next round of submission is due by December 5th. You can submit your pieces hereYou can respond to the following prompts. 

Holiday season is approaching! This is often a fun & exciting time where families and communities are brought closer together. In contrast, this is also the season of winter, where the days get colder and the nights get longer. Write a piece:

  • 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

Additionally, if anything crazy happened over your Thanksgiving break, feel free to turn it into a story and submit it!

 

Snapshots will now be held on Dec. 11, 2025 at 7pm in the Presentation Hall. Free Admission. This performance is the semester’s final exam for Intro To Acting, Acting, and Advanced Acting classes. Here you will see the scenes and monologues the acting students have been working on.
Performers include Errin Austin, Oran Ledford, Mariah Henderson, Joselyn Sanchez, Jaylon Clark, Julia Adang, Ella Dendy, Dyllan Adams, Elizabeth Paschal, Sofia Dean, Adair Lang, Hannah  Dillard, Rebecca Peterson, Millie Robert’s, and Elaina Johnson.  Come out and support your ACAD actors!  

 

  • Note: all classes will meet on Friday, December 12, so students and teachers will meet before exam week.

Holiday season is approaching! This is often a fun & exciting time where families and communities are brought closer together. In contrast, this is also the season of winter, where the days get colder and the nights get longer. Write a piece:
  • 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


 
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!!
