Dear Families and Community Members,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Mark Whitehouse, and I am the Director of Communications at Alfred University. I am thrilled to invite you to an engaging and educational event that may captivate your students' interest. The Ring of Fire event, hosted by our School of Art and Design, celebrates the fascinating role of fire in the artistic process. We warmly welcome all community members, especially students from elementary through high school, along with their parents, to join us for this free event on Saturday, October 26, from 4-7 p.m. on our campus.
Attendees will have the unique opportunity to witness demonstrations in iron and glass casting, blacksmithing, glass blowing, and neon art. There will also be interactive activities like Raku firing and aluminum casting. This event is generously supported by our student clubs—the Clay Collective, Sculpture Society, and Alfred Anvil. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Alfred's A.E. Crandall Hook and Ladder Company, with a fire truck present for the occasion. Remaining proceeds will enhance student opportunities in the arts. Guests can enjoy complimentary s’mores or choose to purchase a meal from one of the attending local food trucks.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please let this serve as a reminder that you should not share personal or financial information over the phone with unsolicited callers. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. We are sending this reminder because parents and/or guardians of children who have recently taken an SAT or PSAT exam have been receiving scam calls requesting personal information, including a credit card number, to mail the test results.
Additional tips about how to protect yourself from SAT test-related scams can be found on the Better Business Bureau website and below:
Always be wary of unsolicited callers: If you receive a random call from someone asking for payment, research their organization before sharing any personal information.
Double check with your child: If someone claims they're calling because of a service your child requested, hang up and check with your child first.
Understand the College Board's practices: The College Board will never ask you for your bank or credit card information over the phone or through email.
Don't give your financial information to strangers: Never agree to pay a stranger with any form of payment for a purchase you didn't initiate.
Thank you,

Dear Andover School Families,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Kinship Caregiver Youth Group, a collaborative initiative by Andover CSD SOAR Program and Catholic Charities. This special group will meet from 3:00-4:00 PM on the first Tuesday of each month, providing a supportive and engaging environment for children living with grandparents, relatives, or non-relatives.
During each session, a Catholic Charities representative will guide the children through a series of educational and social-emotional learning workshops, complemented by enjoyable activities. Our goal is to assure these children that they are not alone and to connect them with peers who share similar living situations.
If your child is interested in joining this enriching program, please do not hesitate to reach out to Kim Fanton at kfanton@andovercsd.org or Danielle Kielar at 716-372-0101 for more information. We look forward to welcoming your child to this wonderful community!
Warm regards,
