Helping Students Find Their Sine

Funds from the Equipped 4 Success school supply drive are used to purchase graphing calculators for Alameda public high schools.

Geometry can be challenging enough in itself.

Powering Up Students for Learning!

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.
