Alpha’s First-Ever Día del Niño Resource Fair: A Community Celebration
After months of planning and countless hours of preparation, Alpha Public Schools hosted its inaugural Día del Niño Resource Fair—and what a celebration it was! This milestone event brought together our school community in ways we’ve never experienced before, creating connections that will strengthen our families for years to come. The turnout exceeded all expectations, with over 330 attendees, both adults and children joining us for a day of learning, connection, and celebration. Families had the opportunity to connect with 23 community organizations offering vital resources and services, while exploring 11 amazing parent-run vendor booths showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit within our own Alpha community.
True to our commitment to accessibility, the entire event was completely free for families, including all activities. Children’s faces lit up as they enjoyed the bounce house, got creative designs painted on their faces, and expressed themselves through coloring activities—all while parents connected with resources and built relationships with other families.
The Heart of the Event: Our Volunteers
What made this event truly special wasn’t just the programming—it was the incredible team of volunteers who brought the vision to life.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Cecilia Mendoza, Alejandro E., Georgina Jimenez Arreola, Vanessa Pineda, Nelly Gutierrez, Jairo Lima, Shirley Calderon, Jorge Arellano, Douglas John Hacker, Estefania Bautista, Emmanuel Aguilar, Leessette A., and all the Alpha families who volunteered their Saturday to make this event possible.
Community Partners Making a Difference
The resource fair wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible community partners who brought essential services directly to our families:
LUNA – Latinos Unidos for a New America and SOMOS Mayfair
Health and wellness organizations including Latinas Contra Cancer, Bay Area Community Health, and Santa Clara Family Health Plan
Community service providers like African American Community Services Agency (AACSA), & PACT.
