Alameda Education Foundation Helps Fund Supplies for New Teachers
AEF is supporting new teachers by giving them gift cards to buy school supplies.
Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) president Bill Sonneman presented new teacher Michael Wong of Paden Elementary School with a school supply gift card as part of the Foundation’s Teacher and Classroom Support program.
In all, AEF presented gift cards to 54 new teachers from the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) to help them purchase supplies and materials for their new classrooms.
AEF also supports teachers and classrooms with an Adopt A Classroom program, which provides $500 to teachers to be used to enhance student learning. AEF also funds Teacher Mini-Grants which provide funds for classroom projects and materials and a School Supply and Instrument Drive, which collects backpacks, school supplies and musical instruments to students in need.
