School Project
 We are currently working with a poet/musician to help us create a presentation about the many wonderful cultures we have in Andover. We would love to have photos of traditional clothing and costumes, foods, dances, and celebrations! Please contribute your photos and videos to this FOLDER.

JOIN US LIVE!

The Upstanders is unsettling and uplifting, causing us all to examine our behavior, inspiring us to do better, be better, and stand up against victimization and cyber-bullying. On MAY 4, Andover Public Schools will hold a special screening of The Upstanders to open up a dialogue between local families, community leaders and experts. The event will feature a viewing of the 56-minute film, followed by an informative panel discussion, led by our director of social work Joe Yarid, AHS social worker Abby Levin, and social work intern Mackenzie Comeau.
ATTENTION FIFTH GRADE PARENTS!

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Andover High School senior Alex Hazelwood is coordinating a clothing and toiletries drive during the first 2 weeks of May to benefit Catie’s Closet. 
Catie’s Closet is a local organization that has been a powerful partner with the Boston, Lowell and Lawrence Public Schools in providing essential clothing and toiletries to families affected by COVID-19. 
Please spread the word and ask your family and friends to donate gently-used clothing for children ages 4-18 and new, unused toiletries.
Alex is collecting donations on a table at the bottom of her driveway at 17 Knollcrest Drive in Andover. This is a contactless donation site so feel free to just drop and dash!
