LAEf Funded programs
This past year, as the pandemic waned, our school district welcomed students back on campus for in-person learning. Students, enthusiastic about returning to their school campus or attending school in person for the first time, felt the energy and camaraderie of being together. New friendships were formed and many beloved school traditions, like the Junior Olympics, started up once again.

STEM experiences deepened each child’s
hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, and math.
