Dear Friend,
Welcome back! It is an exciting time of year as the new school year begins. We at the Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) would especially like to welcome new staff, parents and students into our learning community.

Dear Friend,
I’m writing to share with you the impact the Alameda Education Foundation has made on student success thanks to your support. Personally, I have witnessed teachers crying when receiving a $500 Adopt A Classroom with students cheering their teachers and watched the most exciting middle school basketball game ever when Lincoln and Wood competed for the A girls championship at the Boys & Girls Club. But the impact goes beyond that.

Dear Friends,
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, we at the Alameda Education Foundation have much to be thankful for!
All Together Now 2011!
Our second annual fundraiser for music, art and drama on November 10th – All Together Now – really WAS the best party in town! A packed audience danced the night away to awesome music, enjoyed fabulous hors d’oeuvres and wine, and bid on some amazing auction items.
Graduation ceremonies for Alameda and Encinal High School were last week and by the look of the graduating classes, the future looks very bright.
For example, Alameda High School 2011 graduate Valerie Fong was just selected as one of two CIF/Farmers Scholar-Athletes of the Year. This is a scholarship award that identifies student-athletes who excel in the classroom, athletics, and make strong contributions to their schools and communities. Only one female and one male are selected each year from the 1,500-plus CIF schools statewide,
Thank You!
As we move into 2011, I want to thank all of you who responded to our 2010 end-of-year appeal. Your generous contributions enable us to continue to support and manage the vital programs of the Alameda Education Foundation, programs which directly impact students here in Alameda.
Shop-4-Education!
