MLK Day of Service, January 19th!

We are looking forward to our MLK Day of service on Monday, January 19!  Projects are filling fast.  To register, click HERE.

We also wanted to make families aware that there has been some interest in the MLK D.A.R.E march that is occurring downtown in support of educational equity, judicial equity and economic equity. Lauren Kahn, an Upper School parent, would like to know how many AFS families might be interested in meeting up and traveling downtown together for the march.  If you are interested or have questions, please contact Lauren at lgkahn@comcast.net.

In preparation for the day of service, we are collecting the items listed below:

Clean, gently used clothing and shoes for all ages
