It has come to the school administration’s attention that some students have been using the tagboards of class blogs and faculty blogs to make slanderous remarks about other students. Investigations are now ongoing. The Discipline Committee takes a very serious view of such actions and will not hesitate to mete out the most severe punishment to those found responsible.

HELLO ATHENIANS!

HAVE NO FEAR IN THE UPCOMING PROMOS AND EXAMS! Let all the hard work show! Here’s a simple and short story for all of us (:

The mouse trap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said “Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said “I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died. So many! people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember: when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

Moral of the story: Help those who are in need, be it your classmates, your cca mates or anyone (:

Don’t be afraid to ask for help too! Jia you ppl!

With lots of love,

Athena Fac Comm 10/11

Anyway, for those who did not manage to catch it, here it is again:

Hmm, let’s move on to more recent things.

Tuesday’s Teacher’s Day Celebrations were quite a blast! Who knew ACES day could be so fun? We hope that all of you guys had fun visiting and paying tribute to your tecahers / meeting up with old friends cause Teacher’s Day only comes once a year! (Sadly D:)

Therefore, let’s present our heartfelt gratitude towards our trio of Wonderfully Wonderful, Awesomely Awesome and Humbly Humble Athena Faculty teachers:

Well, the holidays will be a good time for rest (and don’t forget MUGGING!) so make full use of it! Promos are just around the corner for J1s and Prelims and A levels are approaching for the J2s. So, here’s wishing you all the best for your exams!
