Athens ISD held its first-ever, citywide UIL meet for elementary students on Wednesday. Central Athens Elementary, the host site, bustled with the nervous energy of dozens of children.
“This is your chance to prove yourself,” said Eli Rincon, a fifth-grader at Central Athens who competed in music memory. His classmate and fellow music memory hopeful, Dani Allen, said the competition will make the district team better.
The Malakoff ISD Board of Trustees Monday night approved a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $1.82 million to build a new field house at the football field.
The vote came after a presentation by representatives from Gallagher Construction Services and Claycomb Associates, Architects.
The project is part of a $3 million bond approved by voters in May.

Students at Central Athens Elementary were given a challenge last week to collect as many newspapers as possible for recycling. By the end of the drive, 841 pounds had been collected to give to Keep Athens Beautiful. Wendy Ottaberry’s kindergarten class collected the most, with 255 pounds.

Athens High School students, from left, True Head, Michael Pulver, and Matthew Hernandez were in UIL District competition last week for Congressional Debate. Hernandez took second place and qualified for state. Pulver placed fifth and received the top presiding officer honor, and Head placed eighth. This event is in its third year as a pilot event for the University Interscholastic League, and AHS has qualified a student to state all three years. Almost 40 students competed in the class 4A division. Congressional debate is a mock legislative competition in which students draft bills and resolutions, which are debated and voted on.
