Lots of smiles and movement as the 3rd grade students joined Ms. Maggie for a fun Zumba session at summer camp!

Kids Connection students learned how to identify birds and went on bird walk finding birds around the school. They also went to Senior Center to do Zumba with seniors. #ExcellenceIsACS

ACS School Nurses attended the Tennessee School Health Alliance Conference, where they collaborated with peers and gained valuable insights into innovative practices that support student health, wellness, and academic success.

We are grateful for all ACS nurses and the exceptional care and support you provide each day to our students, staff, and families. Your dedication makes a meaningful difference across our school community. #ExcellenceIsACS

Students at summer camp had a great time participating in the STEM activity "Saving Fred," where they applied problem-solving, teamwork, and critical-thinking skills while having fun learning. #ExcellenceIsACS

There was a lot going on at our ACMS Cougar Experience today. Student engagement is one of our main goals. From small groups in reading to discussions surrounding problem solving, there is a lot of learning happening. We also had Dr. Long and her students from Tennessee Wesleyan University came and talked about the Kilbride Nature Sanctuary. The students became scientists and helped them identify different types of Lichen on branches and ended with looking through microscopes to find plankton and macroinvertebrates from the Tennessee River.  Meanwhile, our older students were able to take the opportunity to visit the STEM bus. All in all, it was a great day.

Kids Connection students are learning about birds. Today, they explored the different types of bird beaks and discovered how each beak helps birds find and eat their food.

Today the Athens City Police Department came and showed our students how to lift a fingerprint, what different blood spatters look like, and went through a crime scene! What a great opportunity for these students to learn about forensic science!

Learning and fun came together today as our 3rd graders explored STEM concepts using LEGOs at summer camp. #ExcellenceIsACS

ACMS Cougar Experience finished off the first week of summer camp with a visit from Dr. Davis and Seekins from Tennessee Wesleyan University. They talked about the movement of muscles and bones in the body with our rising 7th and 8th grade students. The students demonstrated different locomotive movements and built structures of the bones and muscles.

A fun-filled day for our 5th-grade students as they enjoyed a visit from the Creative Discovery Museum at summer camp. #ExcellenceIsACS
