Congratulations to our Raiders of the Week, Rylie and Claire! These two ladies demonstrated exceptional citizenship, kindness, and responsibility. Rylie has been in cheer, and Claire has been in volleyball and now basketball. While we are proud of their accomplishments in athletics and activities, the character of these two ladies is where their lights truly shine. They consistently lead by example and can always be seen with a smile on their faces! Congratulations, Rylie and Claire!
The Elementary School students who wait for the morning shuttle bus made a sign for our Lady Raiders! Good luck tonight!!!

The AFC Scholastic Bowl Team improved to 20-6 last night after defeating South Beloit. Congratulations to the team on officially joining the “20 Dub Club”! The Raiders season continues this weekend as they travel to Prophetstown to compete in the Masonic Bowl Tournament.
Big win for Lady Raiders tonight 45-22. They advance to the Regional Championship on Thursday against Serena, played at Earlville at 7:00. There will be a sign up sheet in the office for students wishing to ride the fan bus. The cost is $5 to hold your spot, but that money will be given back to the students as AFC boosters will cover the cost of admission. Go Raiders!

Congratulations to our Raiders of the Week, Lauren and Alexis. Lauren has been absolutely rocking Academic Bowl! She is consistent, a fantastic team player, and a great positive voice for everyone on the team. Alexis has been dominant on the basketball court the past few weeks. She is the definition of hustle and grit, and if there is a loose ball you can bet she's diving for it. We are so proud of both of these ladies and the way they carry themselves both at school and beyond. Congrats Lauren and Alexis!
