Today marks the 30th anniversary of Zeus' Birthday at Athens Academy, and the fifth grade gods and goddesses are ready to party! They each dressed up and brought an appropriate gift to present to Zeus during his banquet later this morning. Such a fun and enduring tradition that marks the culmination of our study of Greek mythology! #acadtraditions

Special thanks to the Oconee County Fire and Rescue team for visiting Preschool yesterday! We learned about fire safety, the parts of a fire engine, and what firefighters wear when they go into a burning building. The best part was playing "Get Out and Stay Out" with Firefighter Emily! So much fun!
