Programs begin in early September, so register soon! For more information click here.

STUDENT & TEACHER SUPPORT

Adopt a ClassroomAdopt 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!
