This week at AFC (August 14 - August 19)
Just a reminder, AFC Elementary School and AFC Jr/Sr High School will host Back to School Open House on Tuesday evening. Please see the attached flyer for details.
Welcome, Mr. Matt Hamel! He is AFC's new District Athletic & Activities Director. Mr. Hamel has been hard at work preparing for fall sports and activities, and we are very excited to be adding him to our team!
AFC Elementary has a paraprofessional opening. Please visit our website to apply.
Welcome, Mrs. Katie Wolf! She is the new Administrative Assistant, and the first friendly face you will see in the main office at AFC Elementary School. We couldn't be more excited to welcome her to our team. She will be running the show in no time!
If your student is enrolled in band class at AFC Jr./Sr. High School, visit the music room at the Back to School Night to sign up for an instrument try-out appointment.
If your student is a 5th or 6th grader interested in joining band, visit the music room at the Elementary School on Back to School Night to reserve an appointment time. If your 5th or 6th grader is unsure about joining band, they may be able to sign up for an appointment at a later date.
Parents and Guardians must attend the instrument try-out night as this is when students will rent their instruments. Make sure to visit the music room and sign up for an appointment at Back to School Night!
Welcome, Ms. Maura Daly! She will be teacher 5th-12th grade Band/Choir. We have long awaited the opportunity to have Band & Choir back in our schools and are ecstatic for Maura to be joining our district teams!
Welcome, Mrs. Jessica Wolf! She will be teaching 4th grade at AFC Elementary School. Jessica is a natural, and will bless many students for years to come. We couldn't be more excited for her to join our team.
This week at AFC (August 6 - August 12)
AFC Elementary Parents,
School Supply Kits have been delivered and sorted. They are ready to pick up in the main office at AFC Elementary School at your convenience. The main office is open Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. You can also pick up on Saturday, August 5th from 9:00 - 12:00. Any kits that remain after August 5th will be given to classroom teachers for Back to School Open House.

AFC FFA Hog Cooperative has pork for sale! Hogs will be going to the butcher on August 21 & 28. If you are interested, please email Mrs. Viall. Whole hogs will be $350 paid to AFC FFA with cash or check and then processing paid to Walnut Acres (usually less than $200). Half hogs will be available for $175 paid by cash or check to AFC FFA and processing paid to Walnut Acres. Support the students hard work and fill your freezer! #AFCFFA
Please review the attached flyer regarding our Back to School Open House events.
Parents of students who are interested in Jr. High Football, please register your athlete on https://il.8to18.com/AshtonFranklin/home. Click on the "registration" button on the left. As long as we have enough to field a team, we will have Jr. High Football! As of right now, it is my belief that we will have one team for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. If we get more numbers, then we will be able to split into multiple teams. Contact Mr. Hamel at mhamel@afcschools.net with any questions!
