Thank you to everyone who has helped the AFC FFA collect caps over the years! The company we use is going out of business at the end of the month so we will no longer be collecting caps! #AFCFFA

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.
