President's Message here
It has been over a month since school began...new teacher, new school for some, new grade level and new friends go hand in hand with the changes, jitters and joy that are part of every new school year for our children. It is always heartwarming to see Alhambra USD staff, teachers, administrators, and volunteers welcome students with big smiles and enthusiasm to ease the first day of school nerves. As an involved AUSD volunteer and community member for over 50 years, I want to thank all the employees for what appeared to be a very successful and smooth opening day. It can be stressful for families and staff alike, and AUSD's professionalism and genuine care is appreciated not only on the first day but throughout the year - THANK YOU!
We have a couple of events I would like you to support over the next couple of months. Coming up this Saturday, September 24th is the 17th Annual Shopping Extravaganza at the Citadel Outdoor Mall in Commerce, CA. AEF receives $25.00 for each ticket sold and we receive an additional bonus for selling over 100 tickets and having over 100 shoppers attend the Shopping Extravaganza. We have met this goal since we started six years ago and need your support to continue our winning streak of earning the bonus funding. It is a great day to shop with extra discounts, lunch and beverage tasting throughout the day. Please purchase your ticket today! https://citadelshopx.com/buy-now/

Secondly, we are partnering with the Downtown Alhambra Business Association and the City of Alhambra for the Annual Pumpkin Run. This is a great event that brings the community together for family fun. Put a team together, run with your family or just come out to meet new friends on Sunday, October 30, 2022 to enjoy a fun morning. Afterwards, visit the City of Alhambra Farmer's Market, Kids Costume Contest, Harvest Festival and much much more. Go to www.alhambrapumkinrun.com to sign up today!
AEF Board Member, Martin Ulloa and Alhambra USD Board President, Dr. Marcia Wilson, along with Lori Ulloa, accept a $2000 grant from the Felix Y. Manalo Foundation - Care For Humanity. We thank them for their generous support and contribution.

We have many more projects ahead and would love for you to help us make them successful. Please email us at support@aef4kids.com if you want to join the Board of Directors to make a difference in your schools.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we wish you a wonderful new school year, and let's all work together to make Alhambra USD the best in California for our children.

Stay safe & healthy!
