Fall 2019 Newsletter
Dear Friend,
It’s back to school time. We hope all our Alameda public school students have a great year! Here at the Alameda Education Foundation, we are launching many programs to provide additional learning opportunities for students.
PROGRAMS
Enrichment After-School Classes
Registration opens Thursday, August 22nd at 9:30 AM for our after-school enrichment classes. We are offering 109 classes this fall at 11 campuses in subjects ranging from music to foreign language to sports to S.T.E.M. Our programs feature small class sizes and expert instruction. Visit our Enrichment page for more information. To register for classes, click here.
For High School Juniors and Seniors
We are offering effective and affordable SAT and Personal Statement workshops. These classes are taught by Natalie Tucker and Ryan Meyer, founders of Felix Prep. Natalie and Ryan became the highest performing college prep tutors in the nation at The Princeton Review, Compass, and Ivy West as measured by both average score improvements and student evaluation ratings. Programs begin in early September, so register soon! For more information click here.
Middle School Sports
Our first volleyball match is on September 3rd. If your student is interested in playing for their Alameda public middle school in coed volleyball (fall), girls or boys basketball (winter), or track & field, please have them check with their school to learn about tryouts. Learn more about our program here.
STUDENT & TEACHER SUPPORT
Adopt A Classroom and support a teacher!
Adopt A Classroom provides $500 grants from the community to teachers who use the funds to support learning in their classrooms. For the 2019-2020 school year, AEF is prioritizing new teachers with this support.
We expect there to be at least 66 new teachers this year, so please consider making an Adopt A Classroom donation!
Program sponsors enable us to give 100% of each donation to the teacher. Thank you to this year’s sponsors:
- Major sponsor: Pump Repair Service Co./Joanne and Dave Archer.
- Sponsors: Firefighters Local 689, State Farm Insurance/Team Kelly Lux, Firefighters Local 689, and Bill & Lois Sonneman.
We are still accepting sponsorships for this vital program! Please contact Vicki Sedlack at Vicki@AlamedaEducation.org to learn more!
