🏈 BGAH Bears Senior Night
Friday night was Senior Night for the BGAH Bears varsity football team at Bainbridge-Guilford, as the Bears celebrated their seniors before taking on Deposit-Hancock.
BGAH battled throughout the night, taking a 6-0 lead into halftime after Davis Barnard scored on a 3-yard touchdown run. Deposit-Hancock answered with two third-quarter touchdowns to take a 14-6 lead, and the Bears kept fighting into the fourth quarter but couldn't quite complete the comeback.
Sophomore Zane Mumbulo led the Bears' ground game with 118 rushing yards on 21 carries, while also recording a team-high 11 tackles. Barnard added a rushing touchdown, and Cooper Warren recorded a fumble recovery.
Despite the 14-6 loss, the Bears continued to battle from start to finish and kept the game within one score throughout the fourth quarter.
Congratulations to our BGAH seniors, and thank you for all you've contributed to Bears football!

🎉 What a way to wrap up Homecoming & Spirit Week! 🎉
The energy was high Friday afternoon as students from across Afton Central School came together in the gym for an exciting Homecoming Pep Rally!
It was great to see our Elementary and Middle/High School students filling the gym and bringing plenty of Crimson Knights spirit to the celebration. We were also excited to welcome students and guests from our merged sports schools, Harpursville Central School District and Bainbridge-Guilford Central School District, making the afternoon even more special.
From the school spirit and cheers to the excitement throughout the gym, the pep rally was a great way to cap off a fantastic week across our schools.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Homecoming & Spirit Week such a memorable celebration of our students and our Afton community!
Go Crimson Knights!

Welcome to the Afton FFA Farm Stand!
Our Ag Science/FFA students have been working hard setting up a produce stand for staff and students in the hallway outside our newly renovated ag room in the Middle/High School.
What a great way to give back to the community by following the FFA motto: "Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve."
Students grew the squash, decorative gourds and pumpkins. The rest of the vegetables, potatoes, onions and garlic were donated by Norwich Meadows through Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chenango County. Super Milk was donated by Chobani.
Thank you to Mrs. Reeder and her Ag Science/FFA students for their hard work and dedication to the Afton community!

Today, 15 total students from 9th and 10th grade started the BRAVE Youth Leadership System program through Sweethearts and Heroes. These students are being trained to work on school community building with second graders over the next several weeks.
Their day started with a series of training sessions throughout the morning before putting their newly acquired skills to work this afternoon when they visited Ms. Hardler's and Ms. Doing's 2nd grade classrooms.
This work will pay off across our school district as we work toward our vision of establishing a pre-K through 12th grade community of collaboration for students and staff.
