Athens Middle School

🎄 We are so excited to share this year's Athens ISD Christmas card. It features a festive tree and wreath from the mind and hand of very talented Athens Middle School 8th-grader Jailynn Dewberry! Over 130 of the two-sided cards, featuring Jailynn's artwork and Christmas greetings from the district, were sent out this week. Ho, ho, hornets! 🎅🧑‍🎄

A smiling student holds up a festive holiday card featuring a Christmas tree design made of colorful ornaments and the text 'Love, peace, and joy from all of us at Athens ISD.' The student wears a green plaid shirt over a black collared shirt, standing in front of a brick wall and a window.

🎉 Heyyyy! Shoutout to Athens Middle School students Eisley Diamond, Karina Izaguirre and Inez Tela for their winning designs on the Holiday Starbucks cups! 🎨 You can check out their amazing artwork, along with designs from 27 other AMS students, at the Athens Starbucks (1010 E Tyler St.) this holiday season.

🌟 We had a world-class chef at Athens Middle School today! Chef Roshni Gurnani (AKA Chef Rosh) offered the flavors of India to students during their lunch periods. From competing on Chopped, H*ll’s Kitchen, and Iron Chef: Alex vs. America, to earning recognition as one of the top 5 Indian chefs in the U.S., Chef Rosh brought a wealth of experience to AMS. 👩‍🍳 And we can vouch that the chicken makhani with basmati rice (AKA butter chicken) was DELICIOUS. Thanks, Chef Rosh, for encouraging our students to try new flavors! 🍛 #HornetNation
