Many thanks to all the AEA families who generously donated toys for the AEA toy drive. Your gifts will be sincerely appreciated, even more so in these challenging economic times. The toy drive, spearheaded by middle school Spanish teacher Anastasia Burnham, will benefit dozens of families served through the Western Service Workers Association (WSWA). Located just a mile from the AEA campus, the WSWA provides support for working families and individuals who are simply unable to make ends meet. According to WSWA literature, the non-profit organization serves San Diego County's lowest paid workers, in particular domestic help, landscapers, security guards, independent contractors, and part-time workers. WSWA is located at 3014 Imperial Ave, San Diego, CA 92102, tel. 619-238-9763.
This is the second consecutive year that AEA has supported WSWA and its work; as a school community we are committed to the IB ethic of Community and Service. In large and small ways, our students learn to make a real difference in the world.
Thanks also to the many students, teachers, staff, and parents who assisted in the collection efforts. Elementary school German Coordinator Birgit Schafer was especially instrumental in transporting and delivering donations to the WSWA headquarters.
