❄️ Hornet Nation, after much consideration, we’ve decided to cancel school tomorrow. These decisions are almost never easy to make. It involves a great deal of weather watching, communication with other superintendents, and a healthy dose of intuition. 🥶 Our area happens to be teetering on the forecast dividing line between "this looks really bad" and "maybe it won’t be too bad." While we’re pretty confident about the safety of morning travel, we’re much less confident about everyone getting home safely in the afternoon. Ultimately, that’s not a risk we’re willing to take. 🐝 Calling off school is always a balancing act between keeping our students and staff safe, minimizing disruptions to learning, and understanding that last-minute changes can be tough on families. In the end, whether we get it right or wrong, the motivation is as simple as it is powerful: We want everyone to be as safe as possible. 🙏 Stay warm tomorrow, Hornets!

🎄 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! 🎅🧑‍🎄

🌟 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
