As the year is coming to an end (yes, it is almost December!), all of us at AEF have much to be thankful for. Each year many loyal & dedicated community members, AUSD staff members, families, and businesses support AEF and our initiatives, ensuring that all children in the Alhambra USD receive equitable access to so many outstanding programs. Whether it is a child's first home library book, understanding and navigating how to fill out a college application, receiving a scholarship, playing a musical instrument, or learning about science, these are only some one of the many programs we are very grateful to have your support. It is not easy during challenging times to raise money so our children have opportunities to enrich their education, and for that we say THANK YOU! |

I want to thank everyone who participated in the Shopping Extravaganza on September 24th. It was a fun-filled day with many shoppers finding great bargains at the Citadel and spending time with friends. AEF sold over 100 tickets and was able to raise over $6,200 that will directly benefit our students.
The 9th Annual Pumpkin Run was a tremendous success this year. With 1,500 runners participating in the 10K, 5K and the kids' 1K run, everyone had fun. It was great to see the community return for this annual event, and special thanks to all of the city departments who worked together to ensure a successful day. Thank you to Joanna Vargas and the Downtown Business Association of Alhambra, Alhambra Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Alhambra for sponsoring the Pumpkin Run each year, along with the Halloween Costume Contest. This is one of the premier community events in Alhambra,

Our Alhambra Fire Department needs your help! Spark of Love Toy Drive has begun, and AEF is partnering with our local firefighters again this year to ensure a special holiday season for all of our families in the AUSD. Please stop by one of our four Alhambra Fire stations, elementary schools, or the AEF office to drop off an unwrapped toy that will put a smile on a child's face on Christmas morning. Every year our firefighters volunteer their time to make our community a better place to live, and we can all make a difference by giving back.
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 our schools.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
Stay safe & healthy!

Reading is Fundamental (RIF) |
|
AUSD's TK-3rd grade students will soon receive their first of three books this year funded by AEF's Dr. LaVonne Wood Literacy Fund. We believe every child deserves an opportunity to own books for their home library, learn how to read, and obtain the fundamental building blocks of literacy to achieve their highest potential. |
