Hello, Afton Community!

We are so proud of our students who attended the All-County Festival in Oxford this Saturday! They spent the day rehearsing alongside other students from across the county, all of whom brought incredible enthusiasm and hard work, and came together to perform a fantastic concert—all in one day.

We are especially proud of our students who represented Afton in the Elementary Band, Junior Chorus, Senior Chorus, and Jazz Band. They had an amazing opportunity to learn, collaborate, and perform at a high level!

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our music teachers, Mr. James Behret (Secondary Vocal and General Music Teacher) and Ms. Deanna Perkosky (Secondary Instrumental Music Teacher), for preparing the students and to our parents and families for their continued support in making this extra festival possible. Great job, everyone!

Student Participants:

Elementary Band- Ivan L., Cole S., Marlee T., and Madalynn S.

Junior Chorus- Emerie C., and Brooklyn S.

Senior Chorus- Kassy Beckwith, Cindy Miller, and Brookelee Patrick

The proposed DCMO BOCES Capital Building Project focuses on these “Core Four” principles: providing a safe and secure space for students; building in the flexibility to react to changing needs in the future; expanding opportunities for students, and
Providing responsible stewardship to our facilities.

The project will expand opportunities for students in a number of ways, including enlarging CTE spaces to accommodate growing programs and new technologies needed for student learning, repurposing non-instructional space for instructional use, creating specialized learning hubs where a variety of students can access equipment for learning, and expanding specialized programming for students to help meet the needs of our component districts, through the creation of additional learning spaces at our existing campuses and the purchase of the Masonville School.

Community members in the 16 school districts of DCMO BOCES will have an opportunity to vote on the project on February 3, 2026. Learn more at www.dcmoboces.com – click on the Capital Building Project link, found in the top right corner of every page.
