The panelists answered questions from our aspiring students, reminding them of the strong support system and resources available right here in Allendale. Though each panelist's journey was unique, they all share the same grit and ambition. Mr. Johnson emphasized that being raised in Allendale County builds resilience and strength.
As part of our week-long Black History Month Celebration, we held a panel featuring several Black entrepreneurs who provided our students with insight and wisdom. Each of the guests were alumni of Allendale-Fairfax and spoke on how the community fostered their growth and success. Special thanks to Mattie Davis-Ginn, Grace Holmes, David Johnson, Ahmad Mikell, and Shuchemia Williams for participating in the panel and speaking to our students.
Our AFMHS Chorus Donut Fundraiser is almost over! Help our choral students hit the high notes in New York by purchasing a box of doughnuts from a chorus student.

Superintendent Dr. Vallerie Cave led a training for paraeducators with the help of Dr. Miller. They provided our paraeducators with the tools and knowledge to thrive in their roles. Focusing on responsibilities, management, and the importance of supporting both teachers and students, the session reinforced how crucial their work is to our school community. This collaboration is key to student success!

Dear Allendale Community of Learners,
We want to bring an important internet safety issue to your attention. A deceptive practice known as website impersonation or domain spoofing is being used by third parties to create look-alike websites with misleading domain names. Unfortunately, we recently discovered that our district has been a victim of this scheme.
Rest assured, we have already reported this issue to our domain registrar, who will review and take down the fraudulent page. Please be aware that allendalefes.com is NOT a website created, managed, or verified by our district. Our official district and school websites only end in "k12.sc.us." If you ever come across a website claiming to be ours but with a different ending, please proceed with caution.
To help protect yourself and our community from website impersonation, here are some tips to verify a site’s authenticity:
Check the URL carefully – Look for slight misspellings or extra characters.
Verify through official sources – Always access district and school websites through official links.
Be cautious of unexpected emails or messages – If you receive a link from an unfamiliar source, double-check before clicking.
Report suspicious sites – If you suspect a fraudulent site impersonating our district, notify us immediately.
Requesting sensitive information- Our district will NEVER ask you for private or sensitive information over the phone or email.
We appreciate your support as we work to maintain a safe and secure online environment. If this happens again, we will keep you informed. Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!
Mrs. Lisa, from Smiles for a Lifetime Allendale, emphasizes the importance of healthy gums. Flossing cleans 40% of our tooth surfaces that brushes can't reach. She recommends adding floss to our daily routine to remove plaque. #FlossLikeABoss
Our partners at the C.A.R.E Project challenged our teachers to get creative as part of their professional development. Teachers were tasked with using the scraps of their original design to create a new project. Not only did this yield beautiful artwork, but the meaning behind each piece was equally special.
As part of Professional Development Day, some of our administrators and paraprofessionals discussed how we can improve our reactions. Mrs. Stacks emphasized that non-verbal cues, like facial expressions and body language, can influence how students perceive commands. This highlights the importance of self-reflection and managing our emotions to ensure we respond calmly and neutrally.
The Finance Department led a productive meeting with secretaries and treasurers to review protocols and discuss ways to improve efficiency and accuracy. We’re committed to improving our processes as part of our ongoing professional development. #TogetherWeCanDoThis
