June has been a busy month for everyone at AEF. We started our summer school enrichment classes with over 1100 students enrolled. Our elementary classes were full by the month of April, and we could not be more excited. Please look at what our students are doing below in the Summer Academy K-8 section.
At the 626 event, we handed out over 250 water bottles, reusable shopping bags, and pens to all the eager bike riders, skaters, walkers, and runners who passed by the AEF booth. It was an inspiring day for everyone involved. We thank the Metro – Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority and the City of Alhambra for putting on this great community event.

I have no words to express my gratitude to everyone who supported our “Under the Stars” AEF Fundraiser earlier this month. We had over 175 in attendance - attendees mingled, bid on silent auction items, ate great food, and cheered on our honorees. It was a very successful event, and I want to thank all our sponsors who continue to support AEF and our new sponsors who are now part of our AEF family. We honor those who give back to education daily to ensure all our Alhambra Unified School District students receive every opportunity possible. Thank you to the community members, City Staff, elected officials, AUSD and friends of AEF who were in attendance – It was a great evening! Special recognition goes to The Ratkovich Company for allowing us to host the event outdoors at The Alhambra!
I had the honor of handing out 15 student scholarships for the Al Domasin Memorial Scholarship on June 14, 2022 with his wife, Peggy Domasin. AEF was contacted by a friend of Al Domasin, who passed who wanted to honor his legacy as an Alhambra High School graduate. See article below.
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 would like to join the Board of Directors to make a difference in your schools.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we wish you a healthy summer, and let's all work together to make Alhambra USD the best in California for our children.
Stay safe & healthy!

Al Domasin Memorial Scholarship
June 14th was a special day for 15 Alhambra High School graduates who were awarded the Al Domasin Memorial Scholarship.
Al grew up in Alhambra and Monterey Park and graduated from Alhambra High School in 1973. Al was a great athlete who played basketball and was on the track & field team while in school. He was an avid antique collector, an excellent skier, and enjoyed playing golf with his buddies and his wife Peggy at the Newport Beach Country Club. He was a friendly, fun-loving guy who always met everyone with a kind and genuine smile. His wife and golf buddies held a gold tournament to award 15 lucky Alhambra High School students $2000 college scholarships. His wife, Peggy, stated, “Al got his foundation at Alhambra High School and we wanted to give back to his alma mater through these scholarships in his honor. AEF wants to thank the following community members from Al's world who made this all possible: wife Peggy Domasin, Minnie Domasin, Gary Domasin, Joan & Terry Solon, Ray & Sandy Moran and Doug & Kathy Forde.
Congratulations to the students who received the scholarships: Anais Barajas, Liam Chang, Kyley Flores, Justin Hernandez, Alexis Hong, Edmond Huang, Kimberly Kyana, Pham Mendoza, Mikaela Ngo, Athena Romano, Jimena Tran, Lani Wong, Brandon Wong, Caroline Young and Lana Young.

The Alhambra Educational Foundation’s K-8 Summer Academy provides an educational experience for our students beyond the range provided during the regular school year. Teachers have designed creative and engaging learning experiences that expand upon areas of interest to develop a lifelong love of learning.
The Summer Academy will feature a virtual Open House showcasing the student's work and learning. Teachers will compile pictures and video clips of learning activities and projects to create a video montage. We will post the videos on the AEF website. More information to come.
Thank you for choosing to send your child to AEF Summer Academy.
