Hello, Afton Community!

Community Swim is canceled for tonight.

Mrs. Driggs and Mrs. Wells 1st grade classes published a book. They all wrote about what they love most. So proud of all their hard work!

The 5th grade class recently visited the Agriculture Room for a sweet introduction to what awaits them in 6th grade Ag Tech this fall. Students rolled up their sleeves and made fresh-pressed lemonade, learning firsthand how agricultural products move from farm to table.

While enjoying their refreshing treat, students also got a sneak peek at some of the exciting hands-on activities, projects, and learning opportunities offered in the agriculture program. From food science and horticulture to leadership and agricultural technology, students discovered that agriculture is much more than farming—it's a pathway to exploring science, business, and innovation. We look forward to welcoming these future Ag students back in the fall!

Happy Father's Day to all of our amazing Afton dads!

Afton FFA members partnered with DCMO BOCES FFA to operate the concession stand during the Kids and Calves Clinic held June 12–14 at the Norwich Fairgrounds. Throughout the weekend, students prepared and served a variety of refreshments, including fresh squeezed lemonade, snow cones, and food items for participants and spectators. Students worked diligently on both Saturday and Sunday, demonstrating teamwork, responsibility, and excellent customer service while helping support the success of the clinic. Their dedication and positive attitude helped create an enjoyable experience for everyone who attended.

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!

Our seniors walked the halls of Afton Central School District in recognition of their accomplishment and to inspire their fellow students! Congratulations, Class of 2026!
