Thank you to Isabella, Victoria, Alexa, Jacob, and Ms. Littlejohn-Pope for their lovely notes upon returning from an all-day field trip to Pigeon Point Lighthouse, where Sun Terrace's entire 5th grade class explored tide pools and redwoods. The trip brought their "learning to life in meaningful and memorable ways." And thank you to MDEDF's generous donors who made this sponsorship possible.

Shore Acres fourth graders now know! ☺️

Shore Acres Elementary continued their college visits, this time with a fourth-grade trip to Cal State University East Bay in Hayward.

Two Cal State students divvied up the excited visitors and led them on a comprehensive tour of the school to get a taste of campus life. Dining hall? Check! Library? Of course. Recreation center? You bet. (And they were pretty jazzed at the idea of joining on-campus sports leagues.) And yes, they were treated to a tour of the freshman dorms to see how the college half lives.

All Shore Acres students, 1st through 5th grade, are each visiting different schools this year, all thanks to the support of generous donors.

A quartet of students at Westwood Elementary practices their quick moves during a foundation-funded two-month artist-in-residence program at the school led by body percussionist 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘀.

Davis, an accomplished professional performer and co-founder of the stepping group Molodi, is bringing his trademark high energy to Westwood... to the delight of the school. Davis uses rhythm and movement for connection, confidence, and cultural awareness and expression. Westwood is one of three schools MDEDF is providing these residencies to this year, thanks to grants from the 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗻 & 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆'𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝟰 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 and our valued partnership with 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮.

Rio Vista Elementary's third graders immersed themselves in indigenous culture at Tilden Regional Park, high up in the Berkeley hills.

"In preparation for our field trip, our class read about the culture and traditions of the Ohlone people. When we arrived, we partnered with three naturalists to learn about the languages, foods, games, traditions, and knowledge of the Ohlone. The students loved learning about Ohlone languages and how they used tule reeds to create tools like decoy ducks. We watched a demonstration of how the Ohlone people built fires and then played a traditional Ohlone hoop and stick game that helps the players practice their spear throwing skills as they attempt to throw a long stick through a moving hoop.

"When asked about things in the Bay Area that they are proud of, students agreed that they were proud of the local history of the Ohlone people and of the parks we have where we can learn about their culture." - 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗸𝗲𝘆, Third Grade Teacher

What a great day! Thanks to our donors, MDEDF is proud to make trips like these happen so students can experience our parks and the history of the Bay Area.
