Afton Central School District

Afton STEP students visited the Binghamton Weather Center this week to learn about the different scientific instruments used to monitor and distribute essential forecast information. Way to go, Students!

Congratulations to graduating senior, Ethan VanZandt, who was recently honored at The First to Say Thank You as Our Community Salutes event! This special event recognizes students from throughout the area who are choosing to dedicate the next chapter of their lives to serving our country. Ethan was one of sixteen students from eleven different local school districts honored at this event. We are proud of Ethan and his willingness to serve our country by joining the US Army.

The graduation ceremony in recognition of the Class of 2026 is coming up! It will be held in the Margery Secrest Memorial Auditorium at 6:00 p.m. We hope to see you come in support of our graduates!

Congratulations to Appalonia Bushaw for placing 3rd in the Class C (Classes C/D combined) Pentathlon at the NYSPHSAA Outdoor Track meet in Webster-Schroeder this weekend. Appalonia competed in the 100m Hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put, Long Jump, and 800m run over 2 days, scoring 2892 to crush the Harpursville-Afton program record and place 16th in Federation (all leagues and classes combined) in NY. This follows up her Section 4 championship in Pentathlon last week in the State Qualifier meet, and adds to her impressive post- season results, which include two 2nd places (HJ, 100h) and a Class D Sectionals title in Long Jump. We look forward to even more success next year!

The 8th-grade recognition ceremony is coming up on Monday, June 15th at 5:00 p.m. in the auditorium. We hope to see you there!
