A big THANK YOU to our 20 LAEF Board members – including Alex, Jeff, and Melinda – for working hard to raise additional funding for our schools so every TK-8 LASD student can receive a well-rounded education this school year! You rock!
Join them and donate to LAEF today!

If your student attends Almond, Blach, Covington, Egan, Gardner Bullis, Loyola, Oak, Santa Rita, or Springer school, they are getting a top-tier education -- well beyond what public funding provides. How is this possible? The school district (LASD) and the educational foundation (LAEF) work together to elevate our schools, but who does what? How does the money flow? Who makes decisions? Get the full scoop here.

Every TK-6th grade LASD student is learning computer science this school year — how to use code to express their creativity and make projects that are relevant to them. Junior high students can choose from a variety of computer science electives. Computer science builds logic, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, and provides a way to experiment with math concepts. Find out more.

Brand New! LAEF offers Deeper Learning funding grants for LASD teachers.
This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who want to try something new that might have been out of reach without additional resources.

Check out this Los Altos Town Crier article about how LASD’s Deeper Learning strategy prepares students for success.

We still need to raise $175K to fully fund our LASD Annual Grant for teachers and staff this school year. If you have yet to give, donate to LAEF today and submit for a corporate match if it’s available to you. Here is a list of companies that matched donations to LAEF last year. We are grateful to those who have already given this school year!

Donations to LAEF fund PE teachers, computer science teachers, librarians, 4th-6th music teachers, the Art Docents program, the Living Classroom program, teachers for junior high electives, and mental health counselors.

In December, students at all LASD elementary and junior high schools played beautiful winter concerts, showcasing their skills and teamwork! Donations to LAEF are funding our music teachers. Thank you!
