We are finishing up our first month of school, and Wellness Wednesday posts are back! Once a month we will share information on various wellness tips.
This month it's all about your SMILE! Start your day with a smile!
Smiling releases endorphins. These natural chemicals elevate your mood, but they also relax your body and reduce physical pain.
Some activities you can do to bring a smile to your face include:
• Count your blessings
• Do something nice for others
• Keep happy reminders

Birthday cupcakes & lots of smiles to start off the week! 🥳


Over the summer the School District of Athens updated our online payment provider. As a result it cause a issue with the ability to pay lunch balance through your Infinite Campus Portal Account. We have resolved those issues so you can once again pay online using your portal account. If you have any questions or are new to the district and like additional information, email Nathan Brost at nbrost@athens1.org.
