Congratulations to our Raider of the Week - Lane! This young man has the biggest heart, and is an emerging leader here at AFC. He continues to grow both on the field and in the classroom, where his leadership is starting to shine. Lane always has a smile on his face and is the first one to jump in to help in any fashion. Congratulations, Lane!

A few weeks ago I posted the beginning of our drawing lesson that had third and fourth graders drawing leaves from observation. Students had the opportunity to draw the leaves several times, using a variety of different drawing media, including colored pencils, crayons, regular Crayola markers, sharpies, chalk, oil pastels, and the iPad to do a digital drawing. Here are a few examples of their work. Notice, the careful attention to detail with the color placement on their leaves, bravo, young artists!
The artists are Lianna, Brycen, and anonymous, maybe Banksy 🤷♀️😜.
