March is the start of a busy time of year for AEF that begins with registration for our elementary and high school summer school programs. I am very excited to be able to return to in-person summer school at both Ramona Elementary for our Keiki Summer Academy and Alhambra High School for our High School Program.
Early Bird registration begins on Monday, March 7, 2022, at 8:00 am. You can go to www.aef4kids.com for more information on class offerings, dates, and times of our programs. We will be following Los Angeles County Department of Public Health guidelines and protocols for schools. Early Bird registration is only for two weeks, so please register early before the price increases.
The Alhambra Teachers Association will be hosting their 3rd Annual Read Across America on March 19, 2022, from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at Alhambra Park. This is a fun community event with reading stations, crafts, entertainment and most importantly, an opportunity for children to select free books to take home. If you would like to donate children's reading books, please contact ATA at (626) 289-1933.
On March 20, 2022 from 10:00 am – 7:00 pm, AEF, City of Monterey Park and Johnny Thompson employees and family will be hosting a Tribute and Benefit Concert honoring Johnny Thompson. It will be a Day of Music at Barnes Park in Monterey Park with live band performances, food trucks, raffles, a tree planting ceremony and just good fun. Please come out and spend the day enjoying great music in honor of a man who gave so much to Alhambra USD students by enriching their lives through music. Go to www.aef4kids.com and click on scholarships to support music programs for students in the Alhambra USD.
Save the date of June 11, 2022, for our "Service to Education" evening. This year we will host an outdoor recognition of our honorees from 2020. This will be a fun event under the stars with great food, silent and live auctions, and most importantly, a time to finally be able to recognize our 2020 honorees who give back to education. Look for more information to come in next month’s e-newsletter.
It saddens me to say we lost a very dear person who gave so much to this school district. She was a very dear friend of mine and a wonderful individual who gave it her all to ensure AUSD was set up for continued success after she retired. Dr. Julie Hadden served this district for over 20 years in various administrative positions, retiring in 2007 as Superintendent. There will be a Celebration of Life and the Legacy of Dr. Hadden on March 26, 2022 at 10:00 am at Alhambra High School. AUSD Administrators have set up a scholarship fund in honor of Dr. Julie Hadden for anyone going into the field of education. Donations may be made at www.aef4kids.com under Julie Hadden Scholarship Fund.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we wish you a healthy spring and let's all work together to make Alhambra USD the best in California for our children.
Stay safe & healthy!
Stephen R. Perry
President

ATA's 3rd Annual Read Across America |

A DAY OF MUSIC - NEW DATE
MARCH 20, 2022
Johnny Thompson attended Repetto Elementary School and was a 1961 Mark Keppel High School graduate. Johnny's love for music was contagious. He opened the Johnny Thompson Music store upon graduation, which for over 60 years served the San Gabriel Valley and the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. The big Johnny Thompson Music guitar sign became a glowing landmark of Monterey Park. Johnny never forgot people he knew from the youngest days, including lifelong connections to his favorite teachers and long-time friends. Please join us for the celebration of life and benefit concert on Sunday, March 20, 2022, at Barnes Park from 10:00 am - 7:00 pm, with bands and tributes playing all day.
