I would suggest moving away from athena-widget for running your app.
That way you can define your own resource structure, including serving
up the static CSS files you want to include from <head>.

You could probably use this as well. The system works pretty much the
same as the way the JS modules system works; you need to set a
cssModule (class) attribute on your widget, and define your CSS
"packages" in more or less the same way you have your JS "packages"
laid out. I haven't used this system at all, and probably wouldn't
recommend it for general use; it encourages having your CSS broken up
into lots of small per-widget fragments, but for a consistent look and
feel to your application, you really want to be doing styling at the
"global" level. (Others may have a different opinion on the subject)
