Celebrating Lunar New Year

Alameda Education Foundation has the perfect art activity for the Lunar New Year (Feb. 10-17)! AEF’s Art Changes artist, Bill Jeng, grew up celebrating New Year by participating as a Lion Dancer. It’s natural that many of Bill’s paintings are of young Lion Dancers celebrating their heritage in this athletically demanding dance. After you watch Bill’s short video, make your own mask inspired by the Lion Dance costumes.

Thank You Alameda Rotary Club

Many thanks to the Rotary Club of Alameda for their generous donation to AEF’s Teacher Mini Grant program!

With a specific focus on need, AEF Mini Grants provide an opportunity for AUSD teachers to apply for items that will benefit their students but that are not covered in the school budget. Many of these grants focus on teachers at Title I schools and special programs, such as Special Education and English Language Learning.

Seth Pearman says “I constantly relate golf to life. My goal is to grow the game in the Bay Area by making the sport more accessible to everyone. I’m working to get golf back to ‘All Square’ with everyone having equal access to the game, including the students I instruct.” Seth currently teaches AEF’s After School Enrichment golf class at Love Elementary School,
