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 the Amherst Education Foundation 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
to www.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
