We cannot celebrate the students, without acknowledging our Champions in the Classroom! The children have taken meaningful first steps in their academic journeys, but it is our teachers who walk along to support and guide them. We also want to thank the parents for constantly showing up and pouring into our schools. We are so grateful to the parents, educators, and staff who made this school year a success.
Some scholars were chosen for special awards due to their academic excellence and improvement. This achievement is the first of many, and we are so proud of how they have evolved this year. From morning songs to story time and counting to 100, our kindergarteners have come so far. We are so honored to help our little ones celebrate their big day!
During the ceremony, the students gave several endearing performances. It shows that our students have learned more than academics — they’ve also built the confidence to sing and speak. Our students have spent this year building foundational skills that will support a lifetime of success. We are so excited for their next steps and to welcome them back next year!

We cannot wait to see how our rising first graders will thrive next school year!

At Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School, Frog Street held a training for several of our teachers, paraprofessionals, and coaches. This training is hands-on and interactive, ensuring that our educators will teach the curriculum faithfully and effectively. We are excited to see how our pre-kindergarten students respond during the 2025-2026 school year.
We held a anti-bullying parade today at Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School that was full of energy and excitement. Both children and adults enjoyed dancing to the live DJ, who played some of our favorite line-dancing and TikTok songs. We were warmed by the support of our local law enforcement, who were proud to participate in the parade. This moment truly brought everyone together and reminded us that peace is possible.
Thank you to everyone who participated or attend our Oratory Competition. Ms. Patterson deserves special recognition for organizing and planning this event for our scholars. It gives them a chance to learn more about MLK Jr., utilize their writing and critical thinking skills, and practice the art of public speaking. We also want to thank our judges and sponsors, your contribution made this event possible!
The judges were left with a difficult decision after hearing five inspiring speeches. Ultimately, Jordan Triplett won First Place for his empowering speech. Za'Karie Thomas had a powerful delivery and was First Runner Up. Jordyn Davis gave a motivating speech and earned Third Place. We also want to acknowledge Jayceon Brown and Kameron Dunbar for being part of our program.
In between speeches, we enjoyed a glorious performance from our AFES Dancers. The dance, choregraphed by Mrs. Meyers, was a beautiful tribute to the long journey we have endured. Sam Cook's,"A Change is Gonna Come" played as the dancers gracefully swayed in their red gowns. Their recital was truly mesmerizing and captured the whole audience.
On last night, we held our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Oratory Competition at Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School. A group of five students each performed original speeches discussing the current climate of our society. The goal was to address issues from MLK's perspective, since he started a fight for freedom and justice that still continues today.
