Friday was the opening for the Woodlawn Student and teacher Art Show (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/161xjGRP74/) . We are fortunate to have 4 students with work in the show: Hazel from Kindergarten, Esme from 6th Grade, Rylin and Lauren, both Freshmen. For anyone that is unfamiliar with the show they have the public vote for their favorite pieces and the top entries will be made into lamp post "flags" to be mounted on the bridges between Sterling and Rock Falls. Last year Nivea, currently a sophomore, had a work selected and it is currently hanging! (I haven't had a chance to see it and photograph it in the daylight.) Please vote for our student entries!

On Saturday, the AFC Scholastic Bowl Team traveled to Prophetstown to participate in the 41st annual Masonic Bowl Tournament. The Raiders had a great day of competition by going 5-1 and earning 2nd place in the tournament! In addition to the plaque and medals, the Raiders also won $300 for the Scholastic Bowl Program! The Raiders continue play this week with both Varsity and JV having a home meet against Milledgeville on Tuesday.
There was an error on last week's Raider Review stating the PTC 6th-8th game night was Feb 21st. That is incorrect, the event was to be held Feb 14th and was cancelled due to weather. We are waiting to hear back on a rescheduled time. There is no PTC 6th-8th grade game night tonight.
That's a wrap on the AFC Pep Band! We had a great time bringing music and school spirit to the basketball games this season. Go Raiders!
