Something exciting is coming to Allendale-Fairfax High School! A café designated just for our Senior Class! To prepare, Ms. Busby set up a taste test with new foods for the students to try. Seniors were able to sample and rate each food, so that they could have a voice in what will be served on the menu. This space will be great for fellowship, but also encourage our students to try new foods.
Our Beta Club students exemplified the heart of service and generosity by collecting and donating essential items to the Ronald McDonald House! Their dedication to helping families in need reflects the core values of Beta Club and our district—leadership, character, and compassion. We are incredibly proud of our students for making a difference and showing what it means to give back.
As we continue our week-long Black History Month celebration, our students put on a live gallery walk, making history come alive in a truly inspiring way. They delivered powerful speeches and reenacted iconic figures such as Maya Angelou, Jackie Robinson, and Lebron James. Parents and students then explored incredible artwork and biographies created by our scholars. We are so proud of our students for honoring Black excellence with such creativity!

The students at Allendale-Fairfax Elementary had a tooth-rific time at the Puppet Show in honor of Children's Dental Health Month. The puppets took a trip to the dentist for a routine check-up, showing our little learners that there’s nothing to fear—just lots to smile about! With giggles and grins, the kids learned the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups. Special thanks to Shawn Skinner and the Columbia Marionette Theatre for the amazing show!
Today is your last chance to support the AFMHS Chorus by purchasing Krispy Kreme donuts or certificates. This fundraiser sponsors the costs for our choir to travel to New York in 2026.

Along the way, teachers and students gave speeches to honor our African-American heroes. Mr. Davis reminded the students that although there may be obstacles or stigmas due to how we look or where we come from, greatness is possible.
