The rising 6th graders visited Allendale-Fairfax Middle School, where they were welcomed by Principal Dr. Dandy, staff, and students. The students were able to ask questions about the school, complete a student-led tour, and meet teachers and staff. They were engaged with a scavenger hunt and Kahoot game, and left feeling more prepared for the transition to the middle school.
Tomorrow at 9:00 AM the Allendale-Fairfax Middle School will be hosting the rising 6th graders. There will be a walking tour and panel discussion to make the transition from elementary to middle school easier for our scholars.
Our middle and high school students got to enjoy an E-sports gaming lab experience thanks to Blaze Fire Games. Our students were excited about the game truck, and we look forward to providing them with similar opportunities in the future!

Parents and guardians of Allendale-Fairfax Elementary 5th grade scholars are welcome to attend.
Parents and Guardians, for clarification our students will be in school during the Solar Eclipse. Our teachers have coordinated learning activities in honor of this celestial event. If a teacher chooses to take their class outside for the eclipse, appropriate safety glasses will be distributed.
