As we wrap up the 2025 calendar year at Lake Oconee Academy, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible volunteers of our Parent Teacher Committee. 💙✨ All month long, these amazing parents generously gave their time, talents and energy to ensure our teachers felt appreciated, supported and truly celebrated. From sweet treats and thoughtful moments of encouragement to dads jumping into carline wearing inflatable costumes, their impact was felt across every corner of campus.
Our LOA community is something truly special. It is generous, supportive and rooted in the belief that we are better together. We are so grateful for our PTC volunteers and all they do to help make our school feel like one big family. 🎄🍪

Art class magic in the making! ❄️✨ Our students have been busy creating their own winter snow globes and their creativity is shining bright. From color blending to tiny details, it’s so fun watching our young artists bring their imaginations to life. We just loved seeing our Titans express themselves through art this week! 🎨💙
As a reminder, campus is now closed for Winter Break. We look forward to welcoming students back on campus on January 6th, 2026.

From Pancakes & Grinch Day, to Mrs. Hood’s cozy coffee bar in middle school, our campus has been full of cheer, smiles and sweet moments all week long. ❤️💚 What a joyful way to wrap up the semester. We are so grateful for these traditions and the teachers who make learning fun and the festive. Wishing all of our Titan families a wonderful holiday break. 🎄✨
Our second graders had a blast with a hands-on challenge this week. After learning about snow leopard habitats in science, students were tasked with building their own “mountain ranges” using only index cards 🏔️. They explored balance, gravity, and structural design while working together to create the tallest and strongest towers. ✨❄️
Of course, Mr. Tom, our wonderful volunteer, had to give the challenge a try too… and the students loved cheering him on. Moments like these make learning come alive at LOA.

Mrs. Griffin’s kindergarten students have been hard at work on their Santa wish lists. ✏️🎅 Along the way, they’re practicing their writing, spelling and early literacy skills with so much excitement. Nothing sweeter than learning filled with holiday joy. ❤️📚
Middle school mornings are magical at LOA. ✨📚 From cozy holiday corners to sweet friendships and festive smiles, our students bring so much joy to the season. There’s truly something special about starting the day together. 🌟🎄
It truly is the most wonderful time of the year at LOA. 🎄✨Our youngest Titans had the sweetest morning shopping for their loved ones at the Secret Santa Workshop with help from their very own upper school buddies. Moments like these remind us what makes our school so special. ❄️🎁
Our Titans rolled up their sleeves and sprinkled a little holiday cheer at our school front entrance. 🌲💙 Mrs. Brown’s students helped re-pot our planters, choosing winter greenery and festive plants to welcome everyone who walks through LOA’s doors. It was a fun hands-on project that blended teamwork, responsibility and a little bit of garden magic. Thank you to these young helpers for making our campus even more beautiful!
Thankful Thursday at LOA ✨ Today we’re celebrating the incredible generosity of our Titan community. LOA students and staff joined together to support the Greene County Food Pantry, collecting nearly 4,000 pounds of canned and nonperishable food items. Our school almost doubled last year’s total, with every box packed and can donated directly supporting local families in need. A huge thank you to our students, teachers, families and especially Coach Imhof’s class for helping collect, sort and load donations. Service like this is at the heart of what it means to be ONE Titan!
3rd Grade Scientists at Work 🔍☀️ Mrs. Dobbs’ class took their learning outdoors to explore how temperature changes in the sunlight! Students read thermometers, recorded their findings and discovered how friction and sunlight both produce heat. Hands-on learning (and a little sunshine) make science so much fun at LOA! 💙🌡️📋
Sharing and Growing Together in Education! 💛 We were proud to welcome three administrators from Oconee County Schools to our LOA Elementary campus to see our Takeoff by IXL pilot program in action. ✨ It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase how our teachers and students are using this innovative math resource to strengthen foundational skills, build confidence and make learning fun. Thank you to our guests for visiting and to our Lower School Director, Mrs. Katelyn Mellow, for leading the way in creating engaging learning experiences for our Titans! 🚀

Building Futures at LOA! 🛠️💛LOA students recently joined peers from Greene County High School for a hands-on field trip exploring careers in the skilled trades. From touring homes under construction to visiting local cabinetry and stair fabrication shops, students got a behind-the-scenes look at the many paths available in the construction industry — right here in our community. Thank you to the Lake Oconee Area Builders Association, for making this incredible experience possible for our Titans!
Our 4th graders in Mrs. Carlton’s class had a special visit from NaQuan Brooks, a Federal Law Enforcement Officer with the U.S. Forest Service. 💙🌳Officer Brooks spoke to students about his important role protecting public lands and taught them all about the “Every Kid Outdoors Pass” which gives 4th graders and their families free access to national parks and public lands across the country! 🌎✨ Students got to play Smokey the Bear Bingo and explore the Great Outdoors—right from their classroom! 🐻🔥 Thank you, Officer Brooks, for inspiring our Titans to explore, protect and appreciate the natural beauty around us. 🌲
Learning Through History 💙💛 Our 5th grade students in Dr. Teal’s class brought history to life this week as they studied the Great Depression and explored the story of “Hoovervilles.” To better understand this important period in history, students rolled up their sleeves and worked together to build their very own cardboard Hooverville right in the cafeteria! 🏚️✨ They even shared a soup meal to experience what a day might have been like for families during that time. Hands-on learning like this helps our Titans connect deeply with the past while building teamwork, creativity and empathy along the way. 💙
Join us in supporting the students, teachers, programs and opportunities that make Lake Oconee Academy extraordinary. Every gift — of any amount — strengthens the arts, academic scholarships, athletic programs and the experiences that help our Titans thrive. 💙💛 LOA is a Greene County public charter school, and while we receive state and county funding, it does not cover all of the vital programs that enrich our students’ education. Your generosity truly makes a difference. ✨ Make your tax-deductible gift here: https://bit.ly/3MayVek Thank you for supporting our students, teachers, coaches and staff. We are ONE Titan!

Their excellence, creativity and dedication shine brightly as they advance to the next phase of this highly selective process. We’re so proud of these Titans for representing LOA with scholarship and spirit! 🌟
🦃💛 Happy Thanksgiving from Lake Oconee Academy! 💙🍂 Today we’re thankful for our Titan Family — the students who make us smile, the teachers who inspire every day and the families who fill our halls with love and support. In PE last week, our students worked together to create “turkeys” using only their equipment and their imagination. No instructions, just teamwork, creativity and lots of laughter. A perfect little STEAM moment to kick off the holiday break. Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with joy and togetherness. 🧡💙
