Congratulations to senior Kate Kleiber & sophomore Robbie Dillon for being named SPARTANS OF THE WEEK (week of August 24): As a senior, Kate had a tremendous first race at the Jefferson Invitational while the team brought home a 2nd Place Trophy. She tied her PR; finishing 2nd on the team and 11th overall. Kate’s hard work and positive attitude help lead the way on a team that has great potential this year! After a summer of training hard, Robbie started the season finishing 2nd on the team and 8th overall at the Jefferson Invitational. He helped lead the team to a 2nd place finish. Setting a 30 second PR in our first race shows how dedicated he was this summer. – Geoffrey Walton, Head Coach, Varsity Cross Country

The Boys and Girls Club is starting back up this year virtually!  They need volunteers to help with creating fun online games as well as managing the kids in groups as they play!  We were thinking about kahoots, pictionary, and other online group games!  The kids will be in the 1st-5th grades and these will primarily take place on Wednesday’s from 4:15-5:15!  There will be about 20-25 kids in a group. If you are interested please let McKenzie Elrod or Alex Oh know because we want to get a rough list of volunteers as soon as possible so we can start working on fun things for the kids to do!

Hi, everybody!

I hope that y’all are doing well and getting back into the swing of things with school starting!
Back to school is really hectic for everybody, especially this year, but at ACAD we are really fortunate in that our families can provide the supplies we need. Many families in the Athens Clarke County Area cannot, so now is the perfect time to give back to our community! Student Council, Honor Council, 17, and Interact are super excited to kick off our service projects for the year by collecting school supplies for local schools!
 
Items We Need: 
Erasers, bookbags, pocket folders, watercolor paints, computer mouses, index cards, construction paper, glue, rulers, graph paper, 3 ring binders, headphones with microphones (new), small dry erase boards, calculators, snacks, pencils, dry erase markers, earplugs (individually wrapped), wet wipes, pens, crayons, highlighters, colored pencils, notebooks, paper, scissors, pencil sharpeners, pencil boxes, markers, and notebooks!
 
 
We will be collecting these supplies this Thursday, Friday, and Monday (8/27-8/31)! Bring them to your advisory location. At home learners can bring any supplies they’d like to donate to the Myers gallery on Thursday, Friday and Monday by 4:00… the advisory from every grade that has the most participation will win a special prize ;)! Please keep track of who donates in your advisory.
 
 
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Farmer or Mr. Olson. Have a great start to your year, and we’re so excited to kick off service projects for the 2020-2021 school year!

The best place for you to be on campus before your first scheduled class is one of the common upper school areas (preferably outside) while monitoring appropriate physical distancing practices. 

Please remember that anyone leaving or returning to campus at any time for any reason needs to have parent permission. You can use the link below to sign in and out but parent validation is required. Parents may also use the link below.

SPECIAL UPDATE**Neck gaiters will no longer be permitted to be used as a face covering at school.  You are welcome to use them around town, but on campus we would prefer face coverings. We are sorry to share this news, but it is based on honest feedback from multiple healthcare professionals in the Academy family as well as a recent study done at Duke University. The study found that neck gaiters were actually more detrimental than no face covering at all.**

Happy Birthday

The Boys and Girls Club is starting back up this year virtually!  They need volunteers to help with creating fun online games as well as managing the kids in groups as they play!  We were thinking about kahoots, pictionary, and other online group games!  The kids will be in the 1st-5th grades and these will primarily take place on Wednesday’s from 4:15-5:15!  There will be about 20-25 kids in a group. If you are interested please let McKenzie Elrod or Alex Oh know because we want to get a rough list of volunteers as soon as possible so we can start working on fun things for the kids to do!


Attention Juniors and Seniors!

Athens Academy is partnering, for the second year, with the Department of Advertising and Public Relations in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia to offer select internships to juniors and seniors. This year, the internship will be virtual and students will be expected to meet weekly via zoom for approximately 1 hour on assigned dates. The internship runs September 2020 – April 2021.

Applications are NOW OPEN and applying is easy!


17 Applications are AVAILABLE NOW and due August 24 at 4:00pm!!

Juniors and Seniors are eligible to apply and interview. First round interviews will take place August 31 – September 2. We have 11 spots open this year!
Please join us for an information session about being a student ambassador this Wednesday, August 19 between 9:15am and 9:45am. You can also stop by the Deans office in Myers Gallery anytime.


Play Information!

Auditions for this year’s Fall “play” will be held this Wednesday- Friday starting at 3:45 pm in the PH. Each auditionee will sign up for a 12-minute slot.  An audition sign-up sheet will be posted today on the double doors at the end of the Bertlesmann turnaround driveway right under the stairs that lead to my classroom.   Please do not hang out before or after your audition time.  BE SAFE!

The play is a monologue play about the boxes we are put in by society, gender, ourselves. It was written by alumna, Kendall Sherwood.  Kendall currently works as a writer and producer for the TV show “Hawaii 5’O”.

This play is SO timely!  Due to COVID, this year’s production will be like none other. Everyone is welcome to audition.  Home learners, those involved in other activities, everyone.  Since the play will not be performed live… we are moving another direction completely.  If you have ever been interested in being in the fall play… now is your opportunity!  Rehearsals will be limited and will take place during the school day, after school, and over zoom.  The time commitment has never been so little.  Please, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

If you would like a script e-mailed to you, email me and I will send you one!

A Message from Mrs. Digel Drake and Ms. Terry:

We are so excited to be offering library services again this year! In order to help students learning from home, and those on campus who do not have time to browse for a book, we have created a website to help all of you.

If you visit https://tinyurl.com/acadreads, you will find all of the new books that have come in since March 2020, as well as a link to our library catalog and a Google form on the very last tab of the website. You can use this form to request library items.

Once you submit your Google form request, we will check out the item to you if it is available, or place a hold on it for you if it is checked out to someone else. We will notify you when your item is available for pickup.

For on campus learners, there is a small bookshelf behind the library counter where you can pick your items up. To return an item, place it in the return slot at the library counter as you normally would.

If you are an At Home learner and cannot come inside the building, let us know, and we will make arrangements to bring the items out to you or to get them from you.
