Incoming 6th graders met at the Athens Middle School this past week for a "Jumpstart" program. Students met with Ms. Gauerke-Peter and middle school teachers to learn about schedules, classes, and also toured the building. Games were played and goals for the school year were discussed. The students made their own butter for a snack with crackers. The sixth graders now feel more comfortable coming to a new building and starting a new school year on September 2.
We’re all excited for the Athens Fair next week 🎡 but can you believe school starts in less than a month? The first day of school is Tuesday, September 2, 2025!
