School Community Holiday fun!
The Evergreen Leadership Neighborhood Association along with our Council Member Sylvia Arenas joined us on Saturday for some holiday crafts, music, food and a visit from Santa. Great company and a great time.
Community Support/ Action (5,896 Pounds Collected)
Our parent volunteers spent the entire Saturday collecting clothing items along with e-waste provided by the community (We had 2 trucks loads). Also, in regular fashion we had Board Member Brenda Serrano- Perez lead and support the event from start to finish. Pumatastic!
