The Andover Fund for Education (AFE)

Since 1991, the Andover Fund for Education (AFE) has been providing
grants to Andover teachers for innovative projects that enrich the
curriculum, inspire students and staff, and expand the community's
involvement in public education. 

AFE grants have allowed students to build sophisticated science
projects, create books through "image making," know the joy of being
published in newly created literary magazines, discover new cultures
through the travels of a globe trotting bear, put foreign language
skills into action as bilingual tutors, experience the Industrial
Revolution through interdisciplinary activities, apply the principals of
physics by designing and building marshmallow-loaded catapults and
gravity-defying rockets, and learn about soil cycles by creating and
analyzing composting areas, just to name a few.  There are two rounds of
grants awarded each year, with deadlines on October 15 and February 15.

AFE currently is looking for parents and other community members to join
the AFE board. The board meets one Wednesday evening a month from
7:00-8:30 in the school administration building to discuss the grant
program, select grants and plan the annual spring Spelling Bee. 

 

More information is available on the AFE website
(www.andoverfundforeducation.org). If you are interested in joining the
AFE board or have questions, contact Janet Swartz at jps22 at comcast.net.
