🌮✨ Lunch Bunch at Rio San Gabriel!

Our students learned how to make falafel smash tacos, exploring the history of falafel while preparing a delicious meal. Students also made a creamy tomatillo salsa with zucchini, tomatillos, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and cumin.

A fun way to learn new recipes, explore different flavors, and build kitchen skills!💚

What’s your favorite recipe to make at home? Let us know in the comments below! ⬇️

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15 through October 15, we take time to recognize and honor the rich cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities.

At the Downey Foundation, we’re grateful to be part of a community shaped by so many unique stories, traditions, and experiences. We’re proud to support the students, educators, families, and community members who make Downey Unified a place where students can learn, grow, and feel connected.

Unidos, Somos Más ✨

Today, we remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroes who courageously stepped forward, and the countless acts of compassion, courage, and unity that followed.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember those we lost, honor those who served, and reflect on the strength of communities coming together in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

The Downey Foundation is excited to launch its inaugural Enrichment Grants, created to support the creative ideas and enrichment opportunities envisioned by DUSD teachers and certificated support staff. 💙🧡

From introducing something completely new to expanding an enrichment experience students already love, these grants are an opportunity for educators to turn their ideas into meaningful experiences for students. 📚🎨🔬🎵

📣 Applications are NOW OPEN!

If you’re a DUSD educator, or know someone who is, share this opportunity with them!

✨ WELCOME TO THE DFEO BOARD, HECTOR SOSA! ✨

We’re excited to welcome Former Downey Mayor and current City Council Member Hector Sosa as our newest Downey Foundation Board Member!

Hector is a proud Warren High School alumnus who has been deeply involved in the Downey community for many years. He’s a strong believer in keeping kids engaged in positive, enriching activities and is passionate about the work DFEO does and the students we serve.

Hector previously served as President of Gangs Out of Downey, and his connection to DFEO is personal—his son was one of our very first students, taking violin classes with us for three years!🎻

Hector shares that he’s excited to make a meaningful impact at DFEO and within our community, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on our Board. We’re looking forward to his ideas, leadership, and feedback as we continue to grow and strengthen DFEO programming. 💙 Welcome, Hector!
