Our 6th grade students, along with Mrs. Krause’s and Mrs. O’Connor’s classes, went on a field trip to the Roberson Museum in Binghamton. First, the students went to the planetarium to watch Distant Worlds Alien Life: Space Rocks. Next, they toured the museum and visited the following exhibits: Haudenosaunee: People of the Longhouse, Please be Seated – Two Centuries of Chairs, and NatureTrek. Then they took a tour of the Roberson Mansion and learned all about the Roberson Family History. Finally, after touring the museum, the students ate lunch in the museum ballroom which they all enjoyed!

Thank you for voting! AFTON - The Afton Central District Board of Education would like to thank residents for their overwhelming support during the 2025-26 Board election and budget vote on Tuesday night at the Afton Middle/High School main lobby. The $20M spending plan and all other propositions passed in a show of strong community support for the District. “All propositions on our ballot passed by significant margins, which shows that our community continues to believe in Afton’s vision ‘to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to provide an educational experience that supports each student in becoming future ready’,” Board of Education President James Parkinson said. “We truly appreciate those who took the time to vote on these important propositions that will help shape the futures of our most valuable assets – our students.” Voters approved the Board to authorize the proposed 2025-26 budget (156 yes votes-67 no votes) and as well as a proposition to approve the purchase of student transportation vehicles (144 yes - 79 no). The Board of Education election results include Matthew Lashway (182 votes) was elected to a 5-year term, Ashley Sherman (176 votes) was elected to a 3-year term, and Kelly Graven-Briggs (155 votes) was elected to a 1-year term. “We are grateful for the residents who came out to vote Tuesday and are humbled by the support we continue to receive from our community year after year,” Afton Interim Superintendent Terry Dougherty said. “Thank you, voters, for helping us to continue to ‘educate all students through meaningful and personalized learning opportunities,’ consistent with the District’s mission statement.”
