Dear Families,
Are you trying to figure out how to thank your children’s
teachers for their wonderful work this holiday season? Here’s a great way to
give a gift that teachers appreciate and is an easy way to remain in compliance
with the law that forbids public employees from receiving gifts valued at more
than $50. AEF’S THANK A TEACHER/STARS IN
OUR SCHOOLS!
Contribute to AEF in a teacher’s name and they will get the gift
that keeps on giving: money that comes back to the schools in the form of
excellence grants. The teacher will receive a card from AEF indicating that you
supported AEF in their honor. Click here Thanking a Teacher through our Stars in Our Schools; or go
towww.amhersteducationfoundation.org and
click on “Stars in Our Schools”.
How is AEF helping the elementary schools? AEF grants are
funding the following programs:
Math coaches are receiving training to help underperforming kids
in grades 3-6! Students with special needs district-wide have much-needed
laptop computers! Music teachers are bringing visiting artists to the schools!
Thank
you and happy holidays,
The Board of Amherst Education Foundation
