🎃✨ Alumni of ASFG’s Past Return for a Special Halloween “Lotería” ✨🎃 This Halloween, generations of ASFG alumni came together to create a unique “lotería” deck, showcasing their diverse professions, talents, and passions. Dressed to the nines in spooky spirit, they paraded through campus, sparking curiosity, inspiring dreams, and sharing glimpses of the many paths ASFG students could explore in the future. Classes of ’85, ’99, ’00, ’01, ’03, ’05, ’06, ’08, ’13, and ’14, thank you for reminding us that once an ASFG student, always part of the family. Your visits make our campus feel a little more magical—and a little more like home. 👻 Our doors are always open to our Alumni.

In a galaxy not so far away, our senior class of 2025 brought the Force to ASFG with an epic Star Wars performance! 🌌✨ From lightsabers to legendary costumes, they turned Halloween into a celebration of courage, unity, and creativity. We’ll miss you, Jedi and Sith alike! May the Force guide you through the rest of your final year—and remember, the legacy of a true Warrior lives on. 🖤 May the rest of your journey be as unforgettable as this show!

📍 5th Grade Service Learning at ASFG Recently, our 5th-grade students connected with non-teaching staff members from security, maintenance, events, and custodial teams! This opportunity allowed them to learn about the essential work that keeps our campus running smoothly and builds a sense of belonging within our ASFG community. Thanks to the middle school administration, and the many parents who joined to support this project. We’ll be continuing this activity all year, and we’d love for more parents to get involved!

🎃 Carving jack-o’-lanterns together is always a favorite at ASFG Early Childhood!
