Logan wires his bulbs together while building a circuit in science class.
Freshmen physical science class is currently studying electricity so they had some fun with the Van de Graaff generator and learned how static charge can build up. They explored how an electroscope works and how pieces of paper can be moved by induction.

Jenna experiments with induction and pieces of paper.
Chemistry students are testing paint samples to find out if there is lead in the paint.
almost 3 years ago, Mary Nelson
Chemistry students use mortars and pestles to crush the paint samples before treating them with an acid to release lead ions.
As we continue through Mental Health Awareness Month, we need to acknowledge that this topic can be uncomfortable to talk about. However, talking with children and adolescents, and building those connections, is one of the best ways to help predict positive health outcomes in adulthood. It was found that adults who experienced strong connections as youth were 48%-66% less likely to have mental health issues.

Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month? This was first established in 1949, and an emphasis was placed on children's mental health starting in 2006, with May 7th being recognized as National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day. Athens will be featuring information about Mental Health every Wednesday. If you are noticing that your child may not be 'themself' lately or a change in habits, here are some ways that you can support your child. (infographic from https://pelhamtogether.org) If you feel your child needs more help, please contact Athens Elementary or High School to get information about our school-based mental health services.
