The Amherst Education Foundation (AEF) is excited to be planning its 4th Annual Spring Sprint, a 5K Run/Walk and a 1-mile Fun Run for kids.
This year’s race is scheduled for May 3rd, beginning and ending at Wildwood Elementary School. Last year the race raised nearly $5000. This year, we hope to raise $7000, and to do that, we need your help! Your entry fee will enable AEF to support excellent projects and programs in our public schools in Amherst, Pelham, Leverett and Shutesbury. Last year our grants provided a series of family engagement meetings for Spanish speaking families, LEGO NXT Mindstorm kits for all six elementary schools, new photosynthesis lab equipment for the Amherst Regional High School, and a Welcome to High School program that provides academic support for entering 9th graders. In addition to our grants, AEF continues to host great community events like the Spring Sprint, fostering support for all Amherst-area Public Schools!
