Summer Reading

 

Be sure to check out the grade-level summer reading assignments,  listed on the Athens Academy website.  Avoid the summer "brain drain" by reading a few good books - by the pool, on the beach, wherever you happen

to be!

 Lower School Olympic Field Day

Friday, May 27 on the Track

We're again planning an Olympics-style format for Lower School Field Day.  Students will run, hop, throw, and race at this fun last-day-of-school event.  The popsicles at the end are always the best part! Any parents interested in volunteering should email the Lower School office or call 706-433-2510.
