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!

Last day of fifth grade for these awesome AES Bluejays!
The Athens Elementary first graders took a trip to NTC and The Wausau Imaginarium. At NTC they saw and did many interesting things such as video production, E sports, planting seeds, and using spheroid robots controlled by a tablet. The Imaginarium was a terrific place to learn by exploring! Students explored water features, wind tunnels and tubes, and various real-life experiences with a sugar shack, market, and food truck. It was a great day!
As if pancakes weren't enough the AES Fourth graders had a cheese tasting party. We tasted several cheeses from Wisconsin! Found a few new favorites!
The fourth graders at AES enjoyed a Lumberjack breakfast. They had pancakes, sausage, apple juice, doughnut holes, hash browns and of course homemade maple syrup! Yum!Yum!
Today is the big day- Graduation Day has arrived. Our sincere apologies for not being able to livestream our commencement ceremony tonight, due to technical difficulties.
Congratulations to the Athens High School Class of 2024!
Our third graders enjoyed a day at the park for our field trip. Thanks to the volunteers who joined us and made the day a success.
4th graders from AES traveled to Madison last Friday. They toured the capitol and the WI Veterans Museum. A great day of learning and memory making for our students and parents.
