Corning donates new lab equipment to AHS

     An unexpected delivery marked the first day of school at Andover High with the afternoon arrival of six large boxes of new laboratory equipment gifted to Andover High School by the Corning Corporation.  These boxes contained a variety of Corning lab ware including beakers and flasks of different sizes, graduated cylinders, pipettes, a digital hot plate/stirrer, and other useful equipment.

     The lab equipment, worth approximately $3000.00, was given to Andover High through the Corning Partners in the Community program.  Two AHS parents who are employed by Corning, Shital Shah and Sudha Mukund, nominated Andover High School as a donation recipient school.  We were notified last spring that AHS was selected to receive the equipment with a September delivery.  Our students will also have the opportunity to hear from a Corning scientist who will speak about lab equipment use and tissue culture procedures.

     The science teaching staff, on behalf of their students, is very grateful to Corning and our AHS Corning parents for this great addition to our lab equipment inventory!
