Annual Report - San Leandro Education Foundation
Strengthen Community Support Schools 2014-2015Annual Report Inspire Students A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.” I never thought I would be quoting former race car driver Bobby Unser, but as I think about what we as a community can do to support student success, his statement really stood out. There are important roles for the community to play on both ends of the success equation; preparation AND opportunity. This year, as an organization, we began to focus more on how we can support linking local companies and professionals to our schools not just for financial support, but for directly enriching the education of San Leandro students. We will continue developing this effort in 2015-16 by organizing work-site visits for classes such as our metal shop classes to local advanced manufacturers, bringing professionals in to the classroom to help with project based-learning, and continue our new internship program. This summer we welcomed four highly skilled interns to SLED for a six-week, stipended internship. Bringing graphic design, photography, film making, and science skills, these high school students impressed us every day with their creativity, ability and commitment. This Annual Report is one example of their work and you can see more by visiting www.youtube.com/sledfund. On behalf of the nearly 9,000 students in the San Leandro USD, thank you for supporting student success through the San Leandro Education Foundation. And please, take a moment to connect to us on FaceBook and sign up for our e-newsletter where you can see the amazing work our students and teachers are doing everyday here in San Leandro. Morgan Mack-Rose Executive Director Teo Mok Multi-Media ABOUT SLED Julia Miller Multi-Media Wenqian Deng Robotics Alyssa Tolentino Graphic Designer The San Leandro Education Foundation believes that when a child succeeds, we all succeed. We understand that the vitality and future of San Leandro is directly linked to the quality of its public schools. That’s why we have been bringing the community together since 2008 to help all twelve schools in the San Leandro Unified School District. Here in San Leandro two out of three families struggle to make ends meet. And half of all students are English Language Learners who are challenged not only to learn the academic content but do so in their second language. SLED serves as a conduit for community support, helping San Leandro students envision a better future and realize their potiential. In addition to providing financial support to schools, SLED organizes community volunteers and links proffessionals to the classroom to achieve its mission. OUR MISSION The Education Foundation’s mission is to identify and mobilize local, regional and national resources in order to bring increased funding, innovative programming and strong partnerships to San Leandro Unified School District’s public schools. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Today’s youth must navigate not only the “real world,” but also the “virtual world.” Now more than ever they need support in developing socio-emotional skills. Programs like Outdoor Education and Season of Service - Period of Peace SUPPORT our student’s emotional, social and physical development; ensuring they graduate as confident, aware and compassionate young adults. S.T.E.A.M. ENRICHMENT STEAM Enrichment provides hands-on opportunities for students in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Design and Mathematics. SLED knows how important it is to start a love of these subjects at an early age. SLED supports STEAM enrichment programs that INSPIRE students and help them envision a different future for themselves. STEAM-focused Workplace Tours and Girls Robotics Camp are two programs that bring STEAM to life for our students. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SLED understands that schools need more than just financial support - they also need the time and talents of our community members. SLED creates positive opportunities to STRENGTHEN the bonds between the community and its schools, acting as a conduit for organizations and individuals. SLED organizes and recruits volunteers for classroom support and events such as Beautification Day and the Elementary School Library Accelerated Reader Project.

MIGUEL HIPOLITO Doing business in San Leandro brings a smile to Dr. Miguel Hipolito, much like the smiles he helps bring to his patients. "I really enjoy the sense of community, the diversity of the people, and the fact that San Leandro is very family-friendly. San Leandro is a tight knit community and it is important that we support each other, stay local and act local. I am honored to support local schools though SLED.” Every Wednesday Eat Out for Education encourages the community to designate Wednesday as a day to dine together at local San Leandro restaurants. Each week one school site is the beneficiary of the generosity of community and businnesses working together. Kaiser Permanente supports San Leandro schools with both time and treasure. Each year Kaiser employees turn out to help spruce up schools at our “Beautification Day.” In 201415, Kaiser was a lead sposor at the Gala and Full STEAM Ahead breakfast, and for a second year, Kaiser awarded a $30,000 Community Benefit Grant to the “Season of Service, Period of Peace” program, truly helping our community thrive. Our deepest gratitude goes out to our partners who support and champion San Leandro public schools! Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has been a generous supporter since 2012. This year they stepped up even more, making a multi-year comitment of $25,000 a year to support SLED’s work. And for a second year, they offered paid internships to San Leandro High School alumni enrolled in college - helping students see San Leandro is a great place not just to grow up, but to live and work. Community Service is a key component of the work force culture at TriNet. Burton Goldfield, CEO, knows that volunteering in the community helps to inspire employees. That’s why TriNet has partnered with SLED to create an outdoor classroom/garden at Jefferson Elementary and is an annual participant at the SLUSD Beautification Day. Visit www.YouTube.com/sledfund to watch a great mini-documentary on TriNet’s garden project.
