AEF School Supply Drive-
Alameda Students need your help!
It’s summer time and we’re already getting ready to go back to school! We need supplies.
School supplies for over 900 homeless students
Consider this, nearly 10% of AUSD students are homeless (defined as not having a permanent residence. Your contribution can help them start the year off knowing they have the supplies they need to succeed. The Alameda Education Foundation needs your help to ensure that we can provide 982 filled backpacks to students by August 30, 2010, the first day back to school.
Requested items include: pencils, pens, erasers, glue sticks, spiral notebooks, binder notebooks, blinder paper, pencil cases, pocket folders, markers, crayons, scissors, protractors, compasses, colored pencils, backpacks, tab dividers, post-its and calculators (for algebra and above).
School Supplies for 500 classrooms
AEF is also collecting new supplies for our teachers than can be used in the classroom. We’re searching for dry erase markers, reams of copy paper, new office supplies, craft paints, paint brushes, glue sticks and anything on your classroom wish list. Remember AEF’s Teacher Supply Store if you have a business that is downsizing or going out of business.
Art Supplies for every school site
With ongoing budget cuts based on the loss of CA State funding, every school site in Alameda is struggling to maintain art programs. AEF’s goal is to provide a minimum of $1000 per school site in art supplies to support volunteer driven art docent programs. These committed volunteers bring art into the classroom on a regular basis and they need our support. New art supplies can be donated to the Teacher Supply store and will be made available to schools through the Art Docent Program and PTA’s.
