Celebrating the achievements of our seniors! 👏

#Seniors

Our high school PE classes wrapped up their golf unit with a trip to XGOLF in Sterling. Thank you XGOLF for hosting our high school PE classes!!

Biology students got to enjoy the “sweet” side of science while learning about RNA and protein synthesis! 🍦🧬

By decoding ice cream sundaes, they explored the processes of transcription and translation in a fun and memorable way. It was a great mix of learning and creativity in action!

Pop til you Drop! Join us for a night of popular music performed by our AFC 5th-12th Band and Choir held on May 14 . We hope to see you there!

Cheers to all the seniors crossing the stage!

Congratulations to our 2026 Prom Royalty!

Please join us on Thursday May 7th, 2026 at the AFC Baseball field to honor our 6 senior baseball players and 2 statisticians following the game against Polo. Recognition will start at approximately 6:00pm.

🎨 Creative collaboration across grade levels! We are continuing to showcase how students worked together to turn imagination into reality.

The countdown is ON! ⏳ Join us in celebrating the Class of 2026 as we highlight another group of our amazing seniors. So proud!

👾We continue to showcase the monster collaborations. Elementary students designed the monsters, and high school artists brought them to life in clay, learning from each other every step of the way.

Ms. Boland’s 4th Grade class wrapped up their Geology unit with a field trip to Starved Rock State Park! 🥾🌄

Students hiked 2 miles through the park and were rewarded with some truly beautiful views along the way. A great day of exploring and learning in the outdoors!

Students experienced a truly unforgettable moment as we welcomed a new litter of piglets into the world. This hands-on experience brought science to life in the most meaningful way.

💡 Learning through collaboration! Elementary artists imagined it—high school students created it. A true teamwork experience from start to finish at AFC. We will continue to share these great (and a bit scary) works of art!

Due to the schedule change tomorrow (Friday 5/1) AFC will host the Amboy Clippers for a FULL JV baseball game. Come out and support the future of Raider Baseball, first pitch is 4:30pm!

Earlier this year, our Kindergarten and First Grade students read I Need My Monster by Amanda Noll and were challenged to design their very own monster. Would it be hairy with sharp teeth? Have long legs and multiple eyes? Wings? Spikes? Slime oozing from its mouth? Oh, the possibilities…

Then, our high school art students brought those imaginative 2D drawings to life by transforming them into 3D ceramic sculptures!

The results were simply amazing. I’m so proud of the collaboration between these groups of students and the creativity they shared.

Stay tuned for more monsters...and collaborations!

Tomorrow's Varsity Baseball (Friday 5/1) against Stillman Valley has been cancelled due to a need to make-up conference games.

Congrats to the Class of 2026! 🎓 The countdown continues as we spotlight more of our outstanding seniors—your future is bright!
