AFC is grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with our local community resources, including local pantries and food banks.

If your family is in need of additional support or assistance, please reach out to our building principals or school counselors, Amanda Chapman and Sarah Lave, who can help connect you with available resources.

This year, the AFC Elementary and AFC Jr/Sr High students will honor our local Veterans on Veterans’ Day with a joint assembly held at the Jr/Sr High School. Community members are encouraged to attend and enjoy music, speakers, and time to honor those in our community. Doors open at 9:15 am. The assembly will take place in the High School gym, enter through the athletics entrance, door 16. The assembly will begin at 9:30 am and conclude with special honors at 11:11 am, presented by the Ashton American Legion.

A special invitation to our community veterans and their families: please join us for coffee, donuts, and fellowship from 8:15-9:15 am before the assembly. If you plan to attend the breakfast, email Mrs Hurt mhurt@afcschools.net or turn in the form that will be sent home with students so we may plan accordingly. Whether you have a family member that attends AFC or just a proud member of our communities, we hope to see you there!
