Athena Raises $367 for Smile Train

Thank you to everyone who participated in Athena Cares's Book Bag/Hat Day on Thursday, March 29 . Together, we raised $367.59 to benefit Smile Train! Thanks to you, Smile Train will be able to do even more to help children around the world who are born with Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate, which keeps children from being able to eat and/or talk properly. In some places, they may be abandoned by their families, refused schooling, or unable to hold jobs. The surgeries Smile Train provides takes all of these problems away and gives kids the opportunity to thrive! Thank you again to everyone who supported these efforts!

New Bulletin Board Spreads Positivity

After writing inspirational messages for our school community, we put up this "Take What You Need" bulletin board.

Anyone who is having a bad day or just needs a "pick-me-up" can read them and take one that speaks to him or her. We have had several students and staff take messages and we keep replacing them with more...

Athena Cares Community Clothing Closet

We are excited to announce that our Athena Middle School Clothing Closet is up and running. We collected donations of gently used clothing and, thanks to a $250 grant from Thrivent, were able to buy clothing racks and other organizers. Now, when students in our school have clothing needs, they can select items free of charge.

Book Bag Day at Athena Middle Raises Funds for Ronald McDonald House


We had a Book Bag day in December to raise money for the Rochester Ronald McDonald House. Thanks to strong support from the middle school students, we collected $252, which enabled us to buy materials to make 150 snack bags. When families leave the Ronald McDonald House in the morning to spend the day at the hospital with their sick children, they can grab these bags of snacks and drinks.
