Here they are experiencing how sound is created and carried through vibrations. The students used common tin cans, rubber bands, cardboard and water to create different pitches.
Afton's FFA students were having fun playing the Jenga game made by Agriculture and Technology students.
Here is our lunch squad keeping everyone safe!

Important Changes to School Calendar:
April 10 and May 26, 2023 will be used as school recess days if no more than one additional emergency closing day is used prior to April 1, 2023. This is due to unused emergency closing days that are built into the instructional calendar.
Students will not have school on Monday, April 10 and Friday, May 26 as long as no more than one emergency closing (snow) day is used prior to April 1, 2023.
The district will keep you informed of any changes to the above, should we use more than one snow day prior to April 1.
Please contact the district office at 607-639-8229 with any questions.

The modified girls basketball team finished up their season on March 2nd with a great game at BG. They began the 4th quarter down 23-16 but stormed back to take a 2-point lead with under 2 minutes to go. BG then went back up by 2 and Afton missed a chance to tie at the buzzer.
The girls finished with 8 wins and 5 losses. Congratulations to the team for the hard work they've put in to the last several weeks to improve both individually and as a team! Coach Rupakus is proud of their hard work!
