A Sea of Blue

Cheered on by a rowdy crowd of Big Blue fans, five varsity teams competed at Exeter this past Saturday during Andover-Exeter Weekend.

A huge A-E Challenge thank you! To all who participated in the Andover-Exeter Challenge last week, thank you! While Andover came up short in the final donor tally, there is plenty to celebrate. In total, 3,796 members of the Big Blue community donated $387,400, which is nearly double our original goal of 2,019 donors.

What’s more, 23 percent of A-E Challenge donors were Andover parents. The funds you helped raise will bolster financial aid, enhance student programs, support the faculty’s work with your children, and more.

Parent-to-Parent Outreach

In the coming weeks, parent volunteers will continue to reach out by phone or email, inviting your support with a gift or pledge. We aspire to 100 percent participation and hope you will join our 2019–2020 efforts. The Academy depends on support from parents and alumni to help sustain its annual operating budget, and your gift—of any size—makes a difference!

For more information about the Parent Fund or ways to give, email Shannan Clarke, associate director of Parent Development, or visit the Parent Fund website.

Lost and FOUND!

The lost and found closet in the Dean of Students Office is overflowing with jackets, hats, backpacks, books, calculators, water bottles, and more. If your child has lost an item, please urge them to visit the Dean of Students Office on the lower level of George Washington Hall on weekdays, 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.
