The 10th Annual AEFI Hall of Honor Banquet and Ceremony is set for Friday, May 4, 2012 starting at 6pm at Holy Family Parish Hall in downtown Amesbury.

Each spring this event honors former Amesbury students, former Amesbury educators or friends of Amesbury schools who have made extraordinary contributions to their community or profession.

In addition to honoring these three outstanding individuals, AEFI also awards thousands of dollars in grants to teachers and administrators to encourage innovation, collaboration, and support the mission, objectives and strategies of the Amesbury Public Schools’ Strategic Plan.

Every school in the district has been awarded AEFI grant money to fund programs that reach all students at every grade level.
