The Los Alamitos Education Foundation has received four grants over the past six weeks.
Adams Legacy Foundation granted $15,000 to expand art instruction. The newly formed Tesoro Foundation granted $16,000 to initiate a middle school robotics program. Rossmoor Homeowners Association granted $10,000 for the STEAM initiative (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, Math), which is bringing STEAM fairs to all schools and a district-wide STEAM Showcase on May 30. This donation was a matching grant based on funds contributed to LAEF by Rossmoor residents during the 2014-15 King and Queen of Hearts campaign. The BNSF Foundation granted $2,896 to purchase new and improved Spanish curriculum for use in LAEF’s summer and after-school programs.
LAEF’s Executive Director Carrie Logue said, “I am overwhelmed by the generosity of these amazing foundations and associations. These funds are critical in enhancing our current art and language programs, and will continue our momentum in bringing more STEAM instruction to students in Los Alamitos Unified.”
