Last week, Stone Art Memorial completed work on the Amherst Central School’s Veterans Memorial. The memorial is located by the flag pole in front of Amherst Central High School. Thank you to everyone who donated to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation to help fund the memorial. Also, thank you to Greg Pigeon, ACHS Principal, Tony Panella, District Superintendent, and Mark Rampado and the Amherst facilities and grounds crew, for helping the foundation coordinate the project.

A very special thank you to Lindsay Wolfe ’77 of the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation Board who worked hard to make the Veterans Memorial a reality. Here is a quote from Lindsay on the memorial, “For years to come, many will pass by and be reminded of the importance of those who served, are serving and will serve in our armed forces to maintain our freedom.”

The Alumni Foundation is planning a dedication, stay tuned for details.

Rosemary Dayton, former choral music teacher at Amherst High School and Jeanne Conte Eppich, former student and singer at Amherst will each conduct a portion of the Amherst Central Alumni Chorale’s spring concert, entitled UNIQUE. Choral music from many genres will be performed. The outstanding Amherst High School Jazz Band, under the direction of Mr. Craig Incontro, will also perform.

Ms. Dayton retired from Amherst High School in 2000. Ms. Eppich is currently the band teacher and director at Transit Middle School.

The Chorale, now in its fourth year, is comprised of alumni of the Amherst Schools whose graduation years range from the 1950s to 2011. The Amherst Schools have a rich history of excellence in music and many graduates have continued on to become performers or music teachers.

The concert will take place Monday, May 15, 2017 at 7:30 in the Theodore Masterson Auditorium at Amherst High School. The concert is free to the public any donations will be gratefully accepted.

As part of the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation’s grant program, we help fund various programs to help create opportunities throughout the school district. The foundation will periodically receive material highlighting what one of our grants helped accomplish. One of the grants we funded was will allow Caroline Smith, junior at Amherst Central High School, to attend the Empire Girls State forum over the summer.

This is an article in the Buffalo News about Smith and the forum.

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

Please consider donating to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation.
