Thank you for supporting Encinal students! Shedy is a low-income, first generation student who most likely would NOT have applied to college were it not for your financial assistance with his applications. We so appreciate all that you do for the Alameda schools!

I wanted to thank you for the most generous of support this year for both myself and my wonderful students. Remote learning and teaching can be a challenge for students and teachers alike, but the resources AEF has provided has made it far more doable and meaningful. Read more
