Dear Alma Families,

Did you know that a small group of Alma families have been meeting every Wednesday over coffee and pastries? They call it “Parent Cafe” and they talk about everything from parenting wins and challenges to their own hobbies and recommendations for great books, shows and more!

A group of English-speaking parents meet from 9-10 am, and a group of Spanish-speaking parents meet from 11am - 12 pm (noon), on Wednesdays in our Alma Family Center at Fisher College, 777 Church Street. We hope you’ll join us next week!

There is always lots of laughter and we have loved seeing friendships blossom! But don’t just take our word for it:

“What I love about Parent Cafe is how much we understand each other and how Alma isn’t just about students but families and that’s important to me I feel like it’s not easy being a parent but coming together is everything to me!” - Gredy

“I love to be able to share challenges and successes with other people who have similar challenges and successes going on in their lives. I’m also glad to be aware of the population in our schools who are facing huge obstacles in their lives and brainstorming ways that we can support them as a community.” - Kristin

“I enjoy every Wednesday because we talk about different issues that have been happening in school, buses, etc and we even get to know more about each other and our kids' concerns. After all, we're like a small family!” - Yari

Get Involved!

Today’s the kickoff for Advocacy Week! In just 5 minutes per day, over 5 days (March 13-17), charter public school supporters from all across the state will work together to ensure our elected officials understand the value of our schools and what our children need in order to thrive.

Alma del Mar is excited to be part of this powerful week, and we hope you will join us! Sign up today to help us speak out on behalf of our school and our students! Once you sign up, you will be able to participate in as many of the planned activities as you wish. The more voices we have, the greater our impact will be!
