Geometry can be challenging enough in itself.

At the Sept. 11, 2012 Board of Education meeting, Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) president Bill Sonneman presented grants to Alameda High School and Encinal High School to support technology needs in the schools’ academic intervention programs.
The funds were generated by Power Up 4 Learning, a collaboration between AEF and Alameda Municipal Power (AMP), that enables AMP customers to designate an amount to be added to their monthly power bill. AMP collects these donations and provides them to AEF to support technology needs at Alameda public schools.
Thank you, Alameda! The Equipped 4 Success school supply drive was a huge success!
This summer, several organizations joined together to run a community-wide school supply drive called “Equipped 4 Success.” Our goal was to fill backpacks with school supplies for 800 low-income students served by the Alameda Unified School District’s McKinney-Vento program for homeless families, the Alameda Point Collaborative for formerly homeless families, and the Alameda Boys and Girls Club.
Thanks to you,
