AEF Adopt a ClassroomHappy New Year! I hope all the high school students did well on their finals.

We are very proud of our Adopt A Classroom Program. Teachers across Alameda receive a $500 check from a donor to use however they see fit for their classroom. We have many generous donors, for example, last week two of our donors were the Alameda Welfare Council and Orangetheory Fitness, which is located at Alameda Landing.  » Read more about: Jan/Feb 2017 newsletter: Burpees, Bobbleheads and More!  »

Supporting Student Success – June 2016

bill-yosemiteDear Friend,

By far my favorite time of the school year when I was a high school principal was graduation. The joy and the tears coupled with the pomp of graduation made the day special to not only the graduates, but to family, friends and staff. The entire AEF Board and staff congratulate all the graduates from our Alameda public high schools. We wish you the best as you enter the next phase of your life.

Give the Gift of Education

Give the Gift of Education

Message from the AEF president

Dear Friend,

This holiday season, consider giving the gift of education by making a donation to the Alameda Education Foundation (AEF).

When you give to AEF, you make an impact on learning for Alameda students, providing them with support and opportunities they would not have. You also show them that our community cares.

Your support means that 600 middle schoolers will benefit from participation in an after-school organized sports program that includes an academic tie-in to keep them motivated in the classroom as well as on the sports court or field.

Supporting Student Success: November 2015

Message from the AEF president

Dear Friend,

The AEF is the midst of Adopt A Classroom season. Twice last month I presented 50 adoptions. What fun it is to surprise a teacher with $500. New teachers are surprised beyond belief, especially teachers who come from other districts who always tell me this never occurred in the their last district. Many teachers who have been adopted before see me at the door and the smiles they give me are priceless.
