The Class of 1977 has started a GoFundMe page to purchase an engraved brick in front of high school as a memorial to those from the class who have passed away.

From the GoFundMe page:

“As we gather together to celebrate our 40th reunion for the class of 1977, we would like to commemorate our classmates who will only be there in spirit. We are raising money to memorialize them with an engraved brick to be placed at Amherst Central High School. The brick pathway encircles the ACHS courtyard flagpole. These bricks are visible to everyone entering the school beautifying our front entrance.”

As part of the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation’s grant program, we help fund various student activities throughout the school district. The foundation will also receive some material we like to share with alumni about the grants we fund. One of the programs funded this year was a trip by Amherst Middle School 6th graders to the Central Library in downtown Buffalo.

We received this recap and thank you for the trip from middle school teacher Kevin Fildes.

Good Afternoon,

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation committee for providing us the opportunity to take our students to the Buffalo Central Library. Attached you will find a few photos of our students engaging in the various activities offered by the librarians at the central library. The trip was a huge success.

Thank you again for the opportunity.

Through the generous support of Amherst Alumni, you helped make this happen.

Please consider donating to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation.
