Growing their learning, one seed at a time! 🌱 Mrs. Holmgren’s 2nd graders planted two different seeds as part of their study on the life cycle of plants.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement in action!
Our AFC 6th graders took pride in making our school even better by helping improve the safety and appearance of the playground. By picking up sticks left behind from the winter months, they filled multiple trash cans and made a meaningful impact—all while working together and having fun.
