AEF Annual Trivia Bee

 

The Amherst Education Foundation is hosting its 29th Annual Trivia Bee on Thursday, October 26 at 6:30pm in the Amherst Regional Middle School Auditorium. Put together a Trivia Bee Team (4 people max) and test your knowledge against other community members, businesses and organizations during a super fun event! Teams are encouraged to come in their best Halloween costumes and participate in a costume contest. There will also be a raffle for gift cards from area restaurants and businesses, and pizza and refreshments for purchase.

The Trivia Bee is our biggest fundraiser of the year and proceeds will go towards funding critical programs and projects created by public school teachers and staff in Amherst, Pelham, Leverett and Shutesbury. You don't have play to participate; come watch all the fun for free and support all the players!

You must pre-register to play. Please visit bit.ly/2023-trivia-bee to sign up your team or enter the raffle.

All students are encouraged to walk, bike or roll to school - contact your neighborhood's organizer for meet-up details. No one in your neighborhood? Grab some parents and make it happen!

Back to School Popsicle Party and 6th Grade Fun Fair

Please join us at Fort River as we celebrate the start of the new school year by grabbing a popsicle with our principals, meeting other families, and supporting our 6th Graders to raise funds for field trips and graduation activities. They will be selling pizza, drinks, and snacks and will also organize fun games for the younger kids! Bring the whole family!

Fort River Directory - Information Needed!

Every year, the PGO creates a student directory for the school year. Inclusion is voluntary, but we hope that you would find the directory to be a useful tool -- whether it's arranging play dates, contacting other parents, or using it to build relationships with other Fort River families. Families MUST fill out this form in order to authorize the PGO to include your family in this directory. Only fill out the fields that you want to be included in this directory.

Everyone will receive an electronic copy of the directory. The Fort River directory is an internal resource that is private and not disseminated to any outside vendors.

Please complete this form by FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th.
