Our 3rd grade students have been learning about spreading kindness in our Second Step lessons. They chose someone important in their life that they appreciate and wrote a thank you note to them. Their words are inspiring and we are proud of the kindness they continue to share!
The School District of Athens will be closed today February 22 due to inclement weather. There will be no afterschool activities or athletic events.
Here are the works of art done by Athens students that will be displayed at the Woodson Art museum in Wausau for the 45th Annual Student Art Exhibition showing from February 26 to April 10, 2022. Beautiful work done by Aleah, William, McKennzie, and Jazelle! Take a museum visit!

On a winter's day in February, what is better than hot cocoa and a cool book? Sixth graders enjoy good books in the library and extra chocolatey hot cocoa.

Great showing, Athens HS, at the SubDistrict level of High School Forensics at Medford HS. This group did a fantastic job and all will be moving on to the District level in early March. Congratulations.

A few high school students competed in the SkillsUSA Competition at NTC on February, 4th. We had students entered into photography, welding, and team engineering. We couldn't get a picture of the welding students but we enjoyed our time at the competition.
"The life I love is making music with my friends." Mr. Triebold and AES are excited to announce the all-new 4th and 5th Grade Choir! These dedicated students give up their lunch recess twice a week to join voices in singing, and the results are truly beautiful. Well done, AES!
Mrs. Wilker's Novels & Society class had fun creating some imaginative projects (a map of the island the book is set on and newspaper front pages that reported their rescue) as they read the book LORD OF THE FLIES by William Golding.
Foods Today students had an opportunity to learn about the nutritional science behind MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) as well as how they are made. They enjoyed the demo and then got to sample the flavors by doing it for themselves. They had a blast!!!
A huge thank you to the United States Air Force for lending their recruiters to us for the day!!

3rd graders at Athens Elementary listened to "The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever," by Rebecca Rule during their library time. They then reenacted the main scene. Check out their sled and their expressions. Great acting by all!
