This week at AFC (3/11 - 3/16)
The AFC Scholastic Bowl Team wrapped up their season this Saturday competing in the Warren Sectional. The Raiders faced some tough competition with losses to Riverdale and Winnebago, but they got to end the day on a high note with a 290-260 win against Morrison. Every member of the team answered at least one toss up question and we could not be more proud of our students for advancing to sectionals for the first time in school history! AFC ends their season with an outstanding record of 31-11. We would also like to give special recognition to our seniors Lauren Stone and Ethan Vogeler for their dedication to the program over these past four years!
REMINDER! Anyone entering 1st - 8th grade next year interested in Jr. Tackle football, come on out to the meeting this Sunday (3/10) in the high school gym.
Good luck to our Academic Bowl Team as they compete in the Warren Sectional tomorrow!
Join us at the FFA Banquet on March 13, at 6 pm in the Junior High gym. A main dish will be provided - please bring table service. Junior High please bring chips. Freshmen and Sophomores bring a side dish. Juniors and Seniors bring dessert. Community are welcome to attend! #AFCFFA
Thank you to AFC Alumni Levi Meurer at Crestview Showpigs for hosting the Animal Science class. Students got to see biosecurity practices in action and learn more about the swine industry!
One of the best parts of running a choice-based classroom is having students inspire other students! This is Mallori (3rd) being inspired by a painting another student, Navaeh (6th) completed a couple of years ago.
Last night, AFC FFA members Logan O'Brien and Kate Viall competed at the District Proficiency Judging. In order to make it there, the students had to advance from the Section level. Logan's record book is Landscape Management for his work with Warner Landscaping and Kate's record book is Fruit and Nut Production, where she tends to an apple orchard. Both interviewed with a panel of ag teachers and industry professionals. Great job on your accomplishment! #AFCFFA

I've got some catching up to do! Help me in congratulating our Raiders of the week for the past few weeks - Aaron, Nivea, and Ethan. Aaron wrapped up the basketball season with continuous hard work, a positive attitude, and being a great teammate all around. Nivea has wowed us with her fantastic artwork. She currently has artwork in two area art shows! Ethan was nominated for his continued efforts in Scholastic Bowl. He is a vital part of the team who, by the way, are REGIONAL CHAMPS! We are so proud of these three individuals for their attitudes, efforts, and abilities.
