Theater in the Classroom

To all the amazing folks at AEF,

Thank you so much for all the support you’ve given 3rd grade at Love Elementary this year. Your generous and well-timed grants have really made a huge difference—and honestly, made things a lot easier for us teachers!

Because of AEF, we got to take part in Berkeley Rep’s ‘Storybuilders‘ program, which was such a cool experience. It gave the students a fun way to build skills in storytelling, dialogue, public speaking, and vocabulary. There was so much joy, creativity, and collaboration in their performance. We turned the classroom into a living theater! Many students were even inspired to be actors and directors because of their experience.

We truly couldn’t have done any of this without your support. Your hard work behind the scenes really brings these opportunities to life for our students. From me, my class, and their families: thank you. We’re so grateful!
