Everyday is a great day to be a Downtown Academy student!

Thankful to Trader Joe's-Athens,GA for providing a bag for every child that our teachers filled with all the supplies they will need for these first two weeks of distance learning. Although we are not in the building learning must go on. We are thankful for our families for doing whatever it takes to keep our children safe and educated. #dtaathome #strongertogether

There are only a few days left in 2020, and we would love it if you would consider Downtown Academy in your year-end giving. Even throughout this pandemic our teachers and staff have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and education of every student. We hope that you will think of us as you consider year-end gifts.
