Athens Young Scholars Program Opportunity

The Young Scholars Program is a paid five-week summer internship opportunity for high school students interested in agricultural, food, and environmental sciences. Selected students work 30 hours per week, Monday through Friday, actively engaged in research under the guidance of a faculty mentor on the UGA Athens campus. Young Scholars will be sent home on the 4th of July, Juneteenth, and the weekends. YSP aims to expose selected students to college life and encourage them to apply to the University of Georgia, especially CAES. Additionally, we want to build good relationships with faculty and serve as the school of choice for the selected promising students.

UGA faculty mentors and or their graduate assistant provide academics/lab/research experience. http://ysp.caes.uga.edu/

All interested students are eligible to apply. However, we only accept students who are interested in Agricultural, food, and Environmental Sciences and those with scientific knowledge, which can be difficult as most schools do not have students who understand the field of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences or are interested in them. I’ve attached majors so students can explore them before they apply. 

Internship Dates: May 28, 2024- July 12, 2024. (Interns who are residents will move in on May 28th and all interns are required for onboarding and orientation on May 28th 2024).

Stipend:  $10.50 bi-weekly.

DormsInterns selected to reside on campus must deposit $700 towards dorms, and we will cover the rest. This year, we are accepting 20 students. 2-3 per high school, and we only accept 8 residents maximum. That means that we accept 8 interns who would have a commute of an hour plus.

Meal Plans: For residents, meal plans are covered, but for commuters, we only provide lunch tickets once a week. Commuters are local county schools who must commute each day. Residents are from the Atlanta metro area or out of state, etc.

Thank You For a Successful Latin Club Book Drive!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Latin Club’s book drive last Spring! Together, we collected more than 650 books for Books for Keeps in Athens! Books for Keeps is a not-for-profit organization that provides books to children who may otherwise not have access to reading material because of their geography, income, or other factors. Pictured are some Latin Club members holding book donations (l-r front row Camden Lang, Matt Can; second row Kingsley Lavender, Andrew Hill, Cohen Tomlinson, Mark Tribble, Krish Chawla, and Mr. Butler).

Diaper Drive This Week!
 
We are excited to announce our support again this year of the Athens Area Diaper Bank and their efforts to spread Diaper Need Awareness.  Middle School is leading the cause but we want to help too! 
 
Diapers are not covered by government assistance programs such as WIC or food stamps, yet diapers cost over $1000 per year.  In the U.S., about 1 of every 3 families struggles with diaper need.  In the Athens area alone, over 8,000 children are in need of diapers.  The Athens Area Diaper Bank is a tremendous resource to area families needing help to keep their children clean, dry, and healthy. 
 
If you or your family is interested in supporting our efforts, please consider donating diapers of any size (open boxes or packs are accepted) any time this week.  Last year the Athens Academy community donated 23,000 diapers.  Our goal is to meet or beat that number this year! 

Let’s help every child in our community stay clean, dry, and healthy!  

Upper School Students may drop them off at the Deans’ Office! 
 
Thank you for your help!
 
Congratulations to junior Molly Smith & sophomore Henry Thomas Garrard on being named Spartans of the Week! (Week of September 25):
Molly Smith & HT Garrard - SOTW
 
 
Just a 10th grader, HT has shown tremendous improvement this season. He trained hard this summer and is gaining the confidence that often comes when experience meets preparation. We are excited to cheer on HT as he gets better and better.
 
Molly is our most competitive runner on a team that is having a dominant season. She quietly goes about her training and continues to get faster and faster each meet. Her grit is infectious and quickly spreads throughout the rest of the team. She is a coach’s dream.”
– Geoffrey Walton, Head Coach Varsity Cross Country

Diaper Drive This Week!
 
We are excited to announce our support again this year of the Athens Area Diaper Bank and their efforts to spread Diaper Need Awareness.  Middle School is leading the cause but we want to help too! 
 
Diapers are not covered by government assistance programs such as WIC or food stamps, yet diapers cost over $1000 per year.  In the U.S., about 1 of every 3 families struggles with diaper need.  In the Athens area alone, over 8,000 children are in need of diapers.  The Athens Area Diaper Bank is a tremendous resource to area families needing help to keep their children clean, dry, and healthy. 
 
If you or your family is interested in supporting our efforts, please consider donating diapers of any size (open boxes or packs are accepted) any time this week.  Last year the Athens Academy community donated 23,000 diapers.  Our goal is to meet or beat that number this year! 

Let’s help every child in our community stay clean, dry, and healthy!  

Upper School Students may drop them off at the Deans’ Office! 
 
Thank you for your help!
Congratulations to junior Molly Smith & sophomore Henry Thomas Garrard on being named Spartans of the Week! (Week of September 25):
Molly Smith & HT Garrard - SOTW
 
 
Just a 10th grader, HT has shown tremendous improvement this season. He trained hard this summer and is gaining the confidence that often comes when experience meets preparation. We are excited to cheer on HT as he gets better and better.
 
Molly is our most competitive runner on a team that is having a dominant season. She quietly goes about her training and continues to get faster and faster each meet. Her grit is infectious and quickly spreads throughout the rest of the team. She is a coach’s dream.”
– Geoffrey Walton, Head Coach Varsity Cross Country

Congratulations to junior Kate Drew on being named Spartan of the Week! (Week of September 18):
Kate Drew - SOTW
Kate is new to our school and program this year and we are so happy she chose to cheer! She always has a smile on her face and such a kind spirit! Kate has worked incredibly hard to learn all of our cheers, chants, and dances while also learning all of our school traditions. She is a strong base and has taken everything we’ve thrown at her with such grace and an eagerness to learn. We are so lucky to have Kate join our program. Great job, Kate!– Kelsie Webb, Head Coach Varsity Cheerleading
