Mr. Cissna's 7th and 8th grade Social Studies classes conducted a mock election in class today. From voter registration cards, to election judge procedures, to the voting steps they learned about their civic duty at election time. A big thank you to Ogle County Clerk Laura Cook for the donation of "I voted" pens and stickers. As well, a shout-out to Mr. Cissna for brining real world experiences to the classroom to better prepare our students to be contributing members of our community.

We are excited to invite you to AFC Elementary School's Veterans Day Assembly. Please review details in the flyer below. We are also currently taking donations for the Honor Flight. Donations can be sent to school with students or dropped off in the main office.
The art students decorated staff parking spaces. They really do bring that extra color to our day when we arrive!
Mr Martin wanted the Art students to know how much he appreciates it. "Loving my new parking spot! Many thanks to Rhylee, Ethan, and Kaylee from Art Class."
AFC is in search of someone or someones to run the game clock at high school girls and boys basketball games. Mrs. Gittleson is willing to train. It does require concentration on the game(s) the entire time. Girls play varsity only with games starting at 7:00. Boys play a JV game followed by a varsity game. JV game starts at 6:00. This is a paid position. If interested in one or the other or both, please email Mrs. Gittleson at tgittleson@afcschools.net.

Due to maintenance work being done on the boilers at the elementary school tomorrow, we may experience an indoor temperature that is colder than we are used to. Please send your child to school dressed in layers (including a sweatshirt/jacket) so they are comfortable throughout their day. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
We hope to see you tomorrow, November 1st for our Family Reading Night at the Elementary School! The theme this year is "Fall Into a Good Book". We have fun activities planned for the whole family, and our Scholastic Book Fair will be open for families to shop.
