AFC FFA was featured in this month’s issue of Shaw Media’s “Ag Mag.” Visit the link below to read (p 28-33) about the great things our AFC students are doing in the community. “Earning a statewide Ag in the Classroom Volunteer of the Year Award is no small task. It takes hard work, dedication, and commitment to the community. It’s not as easy as ABC. But it is as easy as AFC.”
