Baseball Update ❗️
This week at AFC (3/25 - 3/30)
On Friday, 3/15 we had a few signings! Jacob and Mylique signed with the Army National Guard, and Mitchell signed to play baseball at Rockford University. We are so proud of these three and are grateful to get to celebrate you!
Clearly Mother Nature had other plans after hearing how much we appreciated last week's weather!
Congratulations to our Raider of the Week, Eli. He was nominated for his enthusiasm, effort, and being a great teammate in Track and Field. He always comes to practice with a smile on his face, and always gives over 100% in everything he does. We are so proud of you, Eli!
The 6th grade band students were visited by some high school band students today! The students were able to make connections across the buildings and play some tunes together.
I believe in the future of agriculture...
Those words start the FFA Creed, which outlines the beliefs and values the FFA holds about agriculture. AFC FFA member Kate Viall presented the FFA Creed at the Section 2 FFA Creed Speaking Leadership Development Event last night and placed 2nd. She will be moving on to the District competition in May. Congrats, Kate! #AFC
Here we go again!

Congratulations to our Raider of the Week, Reese! She has participated in volleyball, basketball, and now softball. She was nominated for being a great teammate, always bringing a smile and joy to practices and games, and her grit on the field. She scored from first base in the bottom of the 8th inning to propel the Lady Raiders to victory in their first game of the season! Congratulations, Reese!
