This week Mr Smith's Drivers Education class heard from Midwest Safe Driver guest speakers. They learned about blind spots and got to climb into the cab of a semi truck. We are thankful for community partnerships that enhance the classroom experience.
Senior parents: T-shirts are in. Children owe money. Email me at lcoffman@afcschools.net or check with your child to see what they owe. They will not receive their shirts until I receive their money.
BTW, I have an extra t-shirt, size L, $18.
Shout out to Lee and Ogle County Sheriff's Department K9 Units. Thank you for coming in to do a K9 search. We are thankful for strong community partnerships with organizations like these.
