"It just feels better to give than receive, and I am excited about what is happening in our community", noted Orangevale Chamber of Commerce president, Darlene Lyons, as she left Almondale Academy after presenting 2011's first monthly $500 Orangevale Chamber Gives Back community investment.

For over 30 years, Almondale Academy has been offering students individualized academic attention while fostering their self-esteem.  Located on the corner of Greenback and Almond and school to many Orangevale K-12 students, Almondale Academy offers a State of California standards-based education that addresses age appropriate topics including phoenetics, reading, arithmetic, state history, world history, algebra, physical science, social science, government and economics.

School principal and high school teacher, Andrea Woody, was excited to learn that Almondale would be the recipient of January's $500 Chamber Gives Back community investment.  There is a real felt need for updated textbooks for students, lab equipment, and other supplies directly related to impacting students' education - and the community investment will be used to enhance these aspects of the Orangevale school.

The Orangevale Chamber of Commerce is utilizing a private donation allocated specifically to help fund programs and services that directly impact the community of Orangevale. By investing back into the community through chamber businesses and organizations, the Orangevale Chamber hopes to inspire others to follow suit and find ways to give back.  This is the first of twelve monthly investments to be made into the community, and any existing or future chamber member can apply. The Orangevale Chamber of Commerce is pleased to have Almondale Academy as a member of the local chamber, and is excited to continue investing back into our community through this program.
