Amherst Leisure Services Strategic Plan
Amherst Leisure Services & Supplemental Education (LSSE) is working
on a new strategic plan! The plan will be based on a shared community
vision that sets priorities and prepares us for the future.
If you live in or around Amherst, we want to hear from you about which community recreation and education programs you value most, and how we can better meet you and your family's needs. This survey is for anybody in the greater Amherst area who is interested in athletics, fitness or education programs. It doesn't matter if you've participated in programs or activities offered by LSSE in the past.
The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete, and is completely anonymous. Please fill it out for yourself and your household, including any children under the age of 18. Youth ages 18 and up are encouraged to fill out their own survey.

AEF Stars in Our Schools
At the Amherst Education Foundation, we are excited to announce the return of Stars in Our Schools!
Make a donation in an educator’s name, and they will receive a card from AEF indicating that you supported AEF in their honor. Stars in Our Schools is a great way to give a gift that contributes to the schools and that is in compliance with the law that forbids public employees from receiving gifts valued at more than $50.00.
Click here to make your gift! You can honor multiple teachers at once—each one will receive a personalized card!
Please make your gift by December 18 to ensure pre-holiday delivery. As always, thank you for supporting public education and the work of the Amherst Education Foundation. Click here if you prefer to print out a paper copy of the form. Completed forms can be mailed with a check made out to "Amherst Education Foundation, Inc." and sent to PO Box 1363, Amherst, MA 01004-1363.
