Calling all incoming AFC Kindergarteners and AFC Seniors!

The AFC PTC would like to invite you to our Kindergarten and Senior Ice Cream Social as we celebrate two very special milestones:

The Class of 2039's first day of school

The Class of 2027's last first day of school

One class is beginning their school journey, while the other is preparing for their final year. What better way to celebrate than by bringing these two special groups together for an evening of sweet treats, new friendships, and lasting memories?

We can't wait to welcome the Class of 2039 and celebrate the Class of 2027 as they kick off an exciting school year together!

The Ashton-Franklin Center FFA Chapter recently spent three days in Springfield attending the 98th Illinois FFA State Convention.

The trip began with a visit to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum before members participated in convention activities. Throughout the convention, students attended general sessions where chapters and individuals from across Illinois were recognized for their achievements, leadership, and dedication to agriculture during the past year.

Ashton-Franklin Center member Kate Viall was awarded the Illinois State FFA Degree, the highest degree the Illinois Association can confer upon its members. Additionally, Ashton-Franklin Center alumnus Logan O’Brien was confirmed to receive the American FFA Degree this fall at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Chapter member Elsie Viall also represented Ashton-Franklin Center by performing with the Illinois State FFA Band during the convention.

The chapter was recognized for its outstanding participation in the Illinois Foundation Collection Drive, raising more than $3,000 in support of agricultural education and leadership programs. The chapter also earned a Bronze Star Rating in recognition of its activities and accomplishments throughout the year.

In addition, Bob Cowell, a Franklin Center alumnus and former Illinois State FFA Officer, was honored during the convention for his service to the Illinois FFA Association as a state officer 50 years ago.

The chapter is proud of its members’ accomplishments and grateful for the continued support of the school and community that helps make these opportunities possible.

Congratulations to Audriana H. on earning Player of the Game in Oregon! ⚾

Audriana was selected by the opposing team's coach for her positive attitude, outstanding character, love for the game, and unwavering support of her teammates. Her sportsmanship and enthusiasm embody what youth athletics are all about.

This special recognition is awarded in memory of Joe Kerwin, a former Oregon Parks employee and devoted baseball fan whose legacy continues to inspire players both on and off the field.

Way to represent the game with class, Audriana! ⚾
