The PK-1st graders at AES enjoyed a Friendship Feast together last week. Everyone brought a little snack to share so that when we combined what everyone brought, we had more than enough for a feast!
Happy National School Psychologist Week!
AES students honored local Veterans yesterday during a special program presented by Ms. Schelling, Mrs. Thompson's 5th graders, and our music teacher, Mr. Triebold. We thank the Veterans of our AES families, staff, Athens community, and beyond for their service.

Halloween has come and gone. Preschoolers have enjoyed working on a variety of Halloween math and early literacy activities from shape pumpkins to feeding Frankenstein letter Aa pumpkins and working on our fine motor skills.
First graders at Athens Elementary had a wonderful time celebrating Halloween!
Fourth graders from AES had an impactful outdoor learning adventure while hiking a portion of the Ice Age Trail in Westboro, Wisconsin. They enjoyed the chilly but beautiful fall day exploring the trail and learning about our state’s amazing glacial landscape.
Girls in grades 3-5 from all of the Athens area schools participated in the AHS Little Diggers Volleyball Night. For 3 practices they learned all skills of the game and then showed parents, family members and volleyball fans what they learned.
Mrs. Hartwig's preschoolers took a nature walk around school to collect fall leaves for their enrichment Friday activity. Students learned that different types of trees have different size and shapes of leaves. We talked about the different colors leaves change in fall. Afterwards, the students made a fall tree sun catcher with the leaves they collected.
Kindergarteners in Mrs. Markman's class welcomed Fourth Graders from Mrs. Luther's class into our room for Bluejay Buddy Reading time. Kindergarteners each picked out a book from our classroom library that they wanted their buddy (or buddies) to read to them. They are very excited to continue making connections with their 4th grade buddies throughout the year!
Welcome to the School District of Athens!
Athens Elementary students took part in the AES PBIS Behavior Expectation Rotations on our first day of school. Being respectful, responsible, safe, and kind are all a part of the Bluejay Way!!
