Check out this beautiful mural made by Grace Cochrane. It started out as a tape mural of the Eiffel Tower and expanded to including two other pieces of famous architecture: the Louvre and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Instead of waiting for time to take it down or destroy it herself, she used spray paint to make it a permanent mural just outside the art room. #afc art

Attention FUTURE 5th/6th grade parents!
Last week, your child brought a note home regarding band/choir for next school year. The intention of this letter is to get an idea of who is INTERESTED in participating in one of these offerings. It will help us to plan over the summer. I have attached a copy of that letter to this message. As you can see, there is a place to indicate if they are interested in band, choir, or not interested in either. If they are interested in both band AND choir, please mark both. This is NOT a final commitment. If you have any questions, please email jburkitt@afcschools.net. I will have more information on specific details of the programs as the new school year approaches.
Today, we remember and honor those who served. Thank you!
The AFC Athletic Booster are planning an event for next August and would love some help in the planning.

Would love to see some new faces!
