The Los Alamitos Education Foundation’s (LAEF) Spring After-School Program concluded last week, leaving its mark on more than 1300 students across the Los Alamitos Unified School District. Popular classes at the elementary schools included Musical Theater, Volleyball, Chess, Breakdance, Art Exploration, Karate and Real Science, Real Fun.
This spring, LAEF also provided 13 virtual World Language classes to second through fifth graders across the district. Over 300 students enrolled in these free virtual classes, ranging from Mandarin and Japanese to Spanish, French and American Sign Language. LAEF’s goal is to expose children to languages they can pursue further in their secondary education.
Parents and students alike are delighted with the program and excited to see it continue.
LAEF continues to award scholarships and provide enrichment opportunities for students who would not otherwise be able to participate in classes due to financial hardship. This spring alone, LAEF granted tuition scholarships to 140 students. These would not be possible without community support, the Los Al Leadership Circle (LAEF’s major donor group), and grant donors such as the Roosters of Orange County and the Miller Foundation.

Registration is now open for LAEF’s Summer Enrichment Institute which will offer a variety of educational opportunities to students in grades TK-12 in two summer sessions (June 20 – July 1 and July 5 – July 15). For more information on summer classes, please visit www.LAEF4Kids.org/summer/.
