EXCITEMENT ABOUNDS HERE!

 

Wow!  These first days are filled with enthusiasm - so exciting.  To those of you who are new to the Athens Academy community, I extend a special welcome, and to those of you who are continuing your Academy experience, a warm welcome as well.  Each school year shares many common aspects with other years, and yet every school year is truly new.

 

Including all my student years, along with my years of teaching and serving as headmaster, I've experienced many, many openings of a school year.  After more than a half century, one might think the first day of school would lose some of its excitement - becoming just the start of another year, hardly distinguishable from many that preceded itMore...
