EHS Junior class bonding event NOV 2022

Encinal HS Juniors Bond After Difficult Time

The Juniors at Encinal High School participated in a field day where they played games together, ate a BBQ lunch, and got to know each other better.  These students were Freshmen during COVID, so they missed out on a lot of typical student social interactions during the pandemic.

Piano tuning Paden

Keeping Music In Tune at Paden

Micheal Burns, music teacher at Paden School asked for funding to tune the main piano that’s used every day in his music classes. AEF was happy to keep the music flowing at Paden!

“Thank you Alameda Education Foundation! The piano sounds fantastic and really needed the tuning. Brandon had to go through the piano twice to bring it up to pitch and to make sure the tuning holds. But, it really makes a big difference in the classroom.”

Students from Love Elementary School teacher Scott Hixon’s third-grade class made abstract drawings, which they cut apart and then wove with pieces of construction paper. Their pieces are inspired by artist Miguel Arzabe, who is known for filling canvases with paint then cutting them into strips and weaving the pieces into a completely new work.
