Kindergartners at AES participated in Jr. Achievement which is a class that teaches age appropriate money management skills. Tracy Engel taught our class and then invited us to learn about the bank where she works. Thank you, Tracy and Forward Bank!
The 4th graders traveled back in time to 1904 to learn just like a pioneer student would. They got to learn about turn of the century arithmetic, penmanship using dip pens and ink, recitation, geography/history, and spelling. Students dressed their part and even brought pioneer lunches! Thank you to the Marathon County Historical Society for allowing us to visit the Little Res Schoolhouse and our wonderful pioneer teacher, Mrs. Moellendorf. Lastly, thank you to our YES group for funding our transportation. We had a fun day of learning!!!
Tonight is Bedazzling Blue Jay Family Fun Night! See you at 6:00pm for a rhyme time...
The School District of Athens will be closed today, April 17th due to inclement weather. There will be no after school activities or athletic events.
National D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) day and beautiful springtime weather? Talk about a perfect combo!
1st graders took their math lesson outside Friday! They've been working on recording our weather temperatures daily to help them practice reading a bar graph!
Second grade readers went to the Athenian Living Center last week. These girls read several books to many of the residents. It was an awesome experience for the girls. The residents were so happy to visit and listen to our students.
March 20th- Ted Schultz-Becker
Ted is a great student! I enjoy his fun personality and his work ethic! He is very creative, thinking "outside the box" for his box shape, which is more complicated than the average box. Here are two sides of his treasure chest!
March 21st- Chase Ellenbecker
Chase's version of Picasso Guitars was very well executed. He used wonderful different blue hues (reminiscent of Picasso's Blue Period), broke up his well drawn guitar (a common element in Picasso's paintings) showing a sense of the Cubist Movement. Great work, Chase!
March 18th and 19th- Lena and Luna
My two "L" third graders who consistently create great work! Here are their birch tree projects, where they had to create space with overlapping, as well as consider the color and direction of light and shadow in their winter scenes!
March 17th- Itzel Espinoza
Itzel is a kind student who pays very close attention to detail. Her two basketball themed projects are shown here. The first was her box, where her intricate net detail really makes her piece stand out. The use of value (lights and darks) in her painting of this NBA player painted using analogous colors bring a great sense of space and form to her work!
All eligible district residents are encouraged to cast their vote today at the polls. Polls are open 7 AM-8 PM. Our District has ONE very important referendum question on the ballot. Every vote counts!
There are only two more Bedazzling Blue Jay Family Fun Nights left for this school year. Clearly, you don't want to miss them! Mark your calendars for Monday, April 17, 2023 from 6-7pm for a rhyme time...
March 16th- Emma Normand
Emma has a lot of talent coupled with a lot of determination to do things well. This beautiful Inner Self-Portrait took her quite a while but it was worth the wait!
The future of Athens School District is in the voters' hands. We have an important referendum question on your election ballot. Please remember to cast your vote on the referendum question when you vote on Tuesday, April 4. Polls are open 7 AM-8 PM.
Hippety, hoppety, Easter's on its way! These kids made cute ornaments today.

The AES family night for March was a joyous celebration of all things to do with writing.
After learning about the solar system, preschoolers used their imagination and creative thinking skills to describe the planet they discovered.
Tonight is Bedazzling Blue Jay Family Fun Night from 6:00-7:00pm in the AES gym!
