Open Call
ASF Needs your Support to Help our Surrounding Neighborhood! ASF has been located on Av. Observatorio since the 1940's and has seen our neighborhood grow into a thriving area with many schools, universities, hospitals, and businesses. We are mindful that the neighboring community depends on our daily school activity in many ways and therefore committed to helping them, including Beto and Gloria, whom many of us remember fondly at their hamburger stand outside our school, as well as many other community members that have suffered from our absence during these months.
We have around 170 families from the Gamma Club and La Gaviota that will be our main priority to begin with. Since we are collaborating with the ABC Hospital, Centro, and UVM, we will also benefit families from the Brimex Clinic. They will know we are helping them because we will include a flyer with all our logos and the information of our communication campaign.
Here's how you can help:
We will be giving out food packets to neighbors. The cost of each food packet is $750 pesos and it is good for a family of four for 15 days. The packets will include: fresh fruit and vegetables, groceries (beans, rice, lentils and others), cleaning supplies (chlorine and soap) and medical supplies (face masks and thermometer).
This includes delivery right to a family's front door. Since we are also stressing the importance of staying at home during the following weeks, we are delivering them with a group of couriers that will do so in the most sanitary way possible.
The Junior League of Mexico City will be our partner and receive the donations in their bank account, issuing deductible receipts and paying the suppliers. Unfortunately, ASF can not do this directly due to our tax status.
To make a donation, please do so by transferring whatever amount you are able to give to this account:
(Please write your name and the letters ASF next to it so we can identify your donation)

*If you need a deductible receipt, please send an email in the same month you make your donation to the following email address with your fiscal information: juniorleaguemex@prodigy.net.mx
Community Updates
Welcome Class of 2020! This month we welcomed the Class of 2020 to our Alumni Association by sending them a token of appreciation including a customized pen and a video of alumni parents graduating with them too! We wish them all the best and hope they always know that ASF will always be their home. 2020 Alumni Award Every year the Alumni Association President presents the Alumni Award to the graduating class of 2020. The Alumni Award recognizes Seniors that display school spirit by participating in ASF activities, and set an example that reflects positively on ASF and its students. The Alumni Award is also given to Seniors that have made an outstanding contribution to the School and that are likely to remain involved with ASF after graduation.
