Education Fund
It has been a busy year and we saved the best for last. Thank you to all of our guests and volunteers at Bocce, Bubbles and BBQ. Thank you to Brooke Gardner, Kristine Worthley, Nina Voss, Kelly Bowes, Joann Yang and especially Echo Hamilton for their work all year long preparing for this special night. We are so thankful to all of YOU for your support of the Ed Fund this year. Thanks to you, we were able to add two part time para positions and continue to fund art, music, chimes, the library refresh, reading instructional specialists and more. Enjoy the amazing concerts in these last few weeks due to the hard work of Mrs. Raaum, Mrs. Angle, the students and your donations! See here for a complete list of volunteers to thank for their time and efforts!
Bocce, Bubbles and BBQ: Saturday’s Bocce Tournament and Live Auction was a fun and spirited outdoor event with beautiful weather and great company. Congratulations to our winning team “5th Grade Team” (Welling/Wiegand, Mann, Voss) who finished the game (and their time at Alamo) strong. Other winners who we will contact to collect their prizes include:
Underdog Bracket: “Making Bocce Great again” (Van Egdom, Brooks, Breece, DeCoite)
Best Dressed: “Staff on the Fringe” (Fettig, Hascall, Abramowitz, Hennon, Inkabi, Negherbon, Raaum)
Best Team Name: “Saucy Balls” (Hamilton, Williams, Taylor, Mizne)
Most Spirited: “Alamo Hills 90210” (Finster, Rocca, Chan/Cha, Krueger)
Participation Award: “Alpha Team” (Heneman, Feldman, De La Torre)
It was so exciting to watch this dedicated community of parents and educators come together to celebrate and support Alamo School! Your generous bids on auction items make a big impact in the daily life of our students and we are looking ahead to what we can fund for the ‘22-’23 school year. You can still help us reach our fundraising goal! To contribute to our 2022 Fund a Need or pledge an amount for Science Lab materials, use this link. Thank you, Alamo Families and our sponsors!
Kids Create Art: What a week! Thank you for your participation in the Kids Create Art (KCA) fundraiser for the Alamo Ed Fund's art program. The students' artwork was beautiful and so creative - wow! Thank you to all the hard-working volunteers from each class and grade. We are adding up the funds now; please look for the total soon. If we missed you at Open House and you would like to pick up your child's art and donate the suggested donation of $40, please use this website, or email alamo.edfund@srvef.org to pay with check or cash. We will coordinate pickup with you before June 2nd!
Click here for a list of our volunteers who helped with Bocce, Bubbles and BBQ and/or KCA and tell them “thank you” when you see them! We can’t support these programs on our own and need parent volunteers to run these fundraisers. If you are interested in helping to plan next year’s events, or know someone who is, please email alamo.edfund@srvef.org and we can discuss what position is a good fit.
Dine and Donate: Thank you for treating yourself at MYO! We are awaiting our final total and will report back soon. Thank you to Sara Welch for coordinating our restaurant giveback events this year!
Retail: You can continue to support the Ed Fund this summer using Amazon Smile, Farm Fresh to You, Good Eggs (goodeggsforalamo) and Sports Basement. See a partial list of our “Free Money” programs here.
