A Message from the President

As we come to the end of another year it is with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction for a job well done. The Ridefest, at Castle Park, and the Citrus Classic bike ride were both tremendous successes as was the Science Fair.
This year we are looking forward to hosting the Science Fair and the Spelling Bee and are hoping to do the Science Fair at Hillcrest High School.
We have also partnered with two local businesses in the form of a Christmas Tree lot on the corner of Lincoln and Van Buren at the nursery. Half the profits from the lot will go back into the district as student scholarships and teacher/school grants. Please take a look at the trees and help support your district.
We are also asking that anyone with interest in serving on the Foundation Board contact us with your request. As with all volunteer organizations our Board has seen some changes recently so with the beginning of a new year now is the time to get involved and make a difference for the students and teachers of Alvord.
With the New Year also comes a new and revitalized effort to accomplish things only dreamed of and to preserve those things already achieved.

The Alvord Educational Foundation Board wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

    The First Annual Alvord Educational Foundation "RIDEFEST" was a smashing success.  We raised over $5,000 for AEF's efforts to support the school district.  The Board will be using $4,000 of these funds to be used for classroom enrichment mini-grants.  The balance will be used for other AEF programs and efforts throughout the District. Great work, team!  And thanks to Castle Park and all of our great sponsors for making it a great success.

    AEF Payroll Deduction Campaign

    PDFPrintE-mail

    It's that time of year again! AEF Board Members are visiting every school within the Alvord Unified School District to talk about one of AEF's most important sources of funding - contributions via payroll deduction. 

    We're asking teachers, staff, and administrators to join us in contributing a small amount - $5, $10, or $25 per month via automatic deduction.  It's not a huge amount, and when coupled with literally hundreds of others, we are capable of generating a large pool of funds to spend in the District and on scholarships.  Please submit your form today!  All donors will be listed on our website as well as other AEF literature.
