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!

Contact Alex Hazelwood with any questions at ahazelwood5@gmail.com

Race for ACE:
 A movement challenge to raise money for our schools

 This virtual event will take place from May 1 to May 8. Participants and families are encouraged to complete their own Race for ACE by selecting a physical activity to do for 30 minutes. You can run, walk, hike, bike, dance, skip or jump – anything that promotes 30 minutes of physical activity! Click here to register.
We are encouraging participants to post a favorite picture or video on social media and tag us: #raceforace2021. We will be selecting a post that tags us as a winner every day, with awesome prizes and swag! Additionally, given that our event coincides with Teacher Appreciation Week, we are encouraging participants to honor a teacher as part of their race.
