AEF Stars in our schools

AEF's Spring Stars In Our Schools Closes June 15!

Is there a teacher or staff member that has made a difference in your child's life this year? Make a donation to Amherst Education Foundation's Stars In Our Schools Spring Campaign in their honor and AEF will send a note of gratitude on your behalf, thanking them for all their hard work and dedication.

We grant an average of $30,000 annually to teachers and administrators in our schools and all the money raised this month will help us fund the next round of initiatives and programs. In April, AEF awarded a total of $29,317 in grants spread throughout the Amherst-Pelham School District including, ARHS Bridge to Resilient Youth in Transition Mindful Gardening, Combating Sexual Harassment at the Middle School, Fort River Table and Project-Based Development Initiative, and Protect the Investment project. So far this spring we have honored 42 teachers/staff and raised $956. Last June we honored 165 teachers and staff and raised almost $6,000; please help us do the same this year.

Yearbooks are coming!

The Fort River yearbook hasn't made an appearance since before the pandemic... but it's BACK! We need your help:

- YOUR NAME is important! The default name used in the yearbook is the legal name used when your child was registered for school. If you would like a nickname or preferred name listed, please fill out this form no later than June 1.

- COST: The cost of each yearbook is $6. Unable to contribute? No problem! The PGO is committed to ensuring that every child receive a yearbook. If you are willing to donate more, it will go towards funding yearbooks for all students. Please send payment (cash or check) to your classroom teacher or via Venmo (@FortRiverPGO) by June 2.

Book Swap

Please check the weather forecast. It says: books for days!

If you have books to donate for the June Fort River Library Book Swap, please send them to school in your students’ book bag or leave them in the box outside the front doors! The Fort River Library is collecting book donations! During the 2nd week of June, all Fort River students will get to choose from these books to keep, read, and love throughout the summer (and forever if you choose).

Por favor, compruebe el pronóstico del tiempo. Dice: ¡libros por días!

Si tiene libros para donar para el intercambio de libros de la Biblioteca de Fort River de Junio, por favor envíelos a la escuela en la mochila de sus estudiantes o déjelos en la caja afuera de la puerta principal. La Biblioteca de Fort River está recolectando donaciones de libros. En la semana segundo de Junio, todos los estudiantes de Fort River podrán elegir entre estos libros para guardar, leer y amar durante el verano (y para siempre si así lo desean).
