AEF’s annual President’s Reception was held September 20, 2018. The four-fold purpose was to:

One – report on the $60,000 value of grants & donations, services and educational programs provided by AEF since the 2017 Presidents Reception;
Two – to honor our wonderful donors;
Three – to disburse Block Grants to winners; and,
Four – to recognize Alpine Union School District’s incredible employees of the year.

This year sufficient funds were available from fund-raising and matching contributions to support every grant application submitted to the annual Block Grant program. This is in addition to AEF’s ongoing support to the “Leader-In-Me development program at Alpine Elementary. $16,360 in Block Grants were awarded as follows:

Joan MacQueen Middle School: Special Education and Campus-wide Chromebooks
Creekside Early learning Center: TK flexible seating
Boulder Oaks Elementary School: flexible seating
Boulder Oaks Elementary School: Raz Kids Licenses
