On Monday, elementary students brought home "The Raider Way" t-shirt order form (attached below). Since then, we have had some great questions so we wanted to clarify a few things.
1) Purchasing a t-shirt is NOT required.
2) Some parents have expressed interest in purchasing a t-shirt for themselves. Parents can order, but there will be a price difference. The cost for parents to purchase is $13.00 (S-XL) and $15 (2XL & up).
Sale ends September 23rd.
A representative from the Illinois Student Assistance Commission will be here tomorrow, September 8th, during B Lunch for any juniors or seniors with college or financial aid questions.

Please email jburkitt@afcschools.net if you have any questions.
