San Jose, November 28, 2018:  The Moreland School District announced that Anderson Elementary School was the recipient of a $7,000 grant and school supplies, as part of the Allstate Foundation’s Helping Hands grants.  Organized by former Moreland School District Board of Trustee, Robert Varich, Allstate pledged $1,000 for each Allstate agent who collected school supplies.

Anderson’s principal, Tasha Quinonez said, “We are so grateful for Allstate’s support.  We look forward to being able to bring additional enrichment materials to our STEAM lab, add calming kits for each classroom, and purchase additional Kimochi books for our Transitional Kindergarten/Kindergarten classes.  Each student at Anderson will benefit tremendously from this support.”
