The ACMS volleyball team had the opportunity to participate in a volleyball clinic with the Tennessee Wesleyan Volleyball Team. The girls learned a ton and are ready for the first week of games!

What an amazing week it has been at ACS welcoming our students back! We want to give a shoutout to the best team ever. Students were smiling and excited for the day. From the buses, drop off/ pickup, traffic, kids' connection program, school nurse clinics, breakfast and lunch time meals, meeting teachers and classrooms, learning new schedules, and playing outdoors at recess. It takes everyone to make it possible, we appreciate you ACS staff!

A huge thank you to Stephenson Signs and Amazon for their generous donation of 60 backpacks filled with supplies to Athens City Primary School!
