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











Hello, Afton Community!
We are so thankful for the generous donation of $2,000.00 by the Afton Alumni Association for food for our FFA Food Pantry. Thank you for your support!
Ernie Cutting Jr., representing the Afton Central School Alumni Association, recently presented Cat Reeder, Afton FFA Food Pantry Coordinator, and FFA Advisor with a generous $2,000 donation. This contribution will directly support the pantry’s ongoing efforts to provide food to students, families, and community members in need.
“The support from our Alumni Association truly means so much to our students and community,” said Mrs. Reeder. “Their commitment helps us keep the pantry going and reminds our students how strong community connections can make a real difference.”
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.
