We welcomed students with high spirits to get them ready for their NYS tests! Let’s rock this test!

Our third, fourth, and fifth-grade students were treated to an incredible "Rock the Test" pep rally today! They were cheered on by our younger students as they made their way to the event, where they heard encouraging tips and motivational messages from their teachers, families, and peers.

To top it all off, the celebration ended with an unforgettable surprise performance by our teachers! We are so proud of our students' hard work and dedication. Good luck to everyone as they begin their New York State testing this week.

Thank you to all the parents who joined us this morning for our informational breakfast regarding the upcoming New York State tests. We truly appreciate your engagement and support of our students!

Support students and enjoy an evening of community with AFE!

A big thank you to Senator Patricia A. Fahy for stopping by to read with our TOAST second-graders in Kim Cirigliano’s class, and to Cornell Cooperative Extension Association Director Lisa Godlewski for coordinating the visit!

Fahy’s visit was part of Agricultural Literacy Week, an annual celebration of the importance of New York State agriculture. After reading this year’s book “Seasons on the Farm,” she fielded questions from students while conducting an informal poll on their favorite season!

Tomorrow!

We're confident our talented and civics-minded students will come up with great sticker ideas again this year!
