President's Message:re Hean
I want to thank all AUSD employees, community members, AYSO Region 60 Soccer parents, and local businesses who supported our Spark of Love Toy Drive with our Alhambra Firefighters. Your generous contributions enabled us to provide joyous holiday gifts for many of our AUSD students and families. I want to commend and send my heartfelt thank you to the Alhambra Firefighters Association and Alhambra Fire Department for stepping up every year to make sure no child is left behind and has a happy holiday.

In partnership with our firefighters, hundreds of children were able to select their own gifts this past weekend and enjoy a pancake breakfast at Alhambra Fire Station 71. It was a great morning for all involved and AEF is very proud and honored to partner with our Alhambra Firefighters to support this worthy cause. AEF will double our monetary commitment for next year, as the need is greater and every child should enjoy Christmas with family and gifts.

I want to thank everyone who donated toys and money to make this a successful event.
AEF distributed over 4,000 books to all of our kindergarten through third grade classes. It is always exciting to witness the smiles of children when they select a new book to take home and keep in their growing home libraries. Over the past decade, AEF has distributed over 50,000 books to our students in the District and we look forward to providing more books. I would like to thank our partners who have helped us in the past, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.

This has been an extraordinary year for AEF with all of the programs and funding we have been involved with. This past year we partnered with the Pasadena Showcase House, Citadel Shopping Extravaganza, Alhambra Pumpkin Run, Alhambra Downtown Business Association, Alhambra Chamber of Commerce, AYSO Region 60 Alhambra/Monterey Park, Alhambra Firefighters Association, Alhambra Teachers Association, City of Alhambra, City of Monterey Park, Alhambra Council PTA, and of course, our own Alhambra USD to ensure we enrich the lives of our students. I cannot thank all of our partners enough for your support and commitment.

On behalf of the AEF Board of Directors, I want to thank the community for your continued support of AEF, AUSD, and our students. Together, we make living in Alhambra, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, Rosemead, and South San Gabriel a better place. Great Schools Make Great Communities!

Have a happy and safe holiday with your family. See you all in 2024!
