In a show of community partnership and support for families, the three officials personally purchased toys for every student from Prekindergarten (Pre-K) through 5th Grade. Students lined the halls as gifts were delivered classroom by classroom, creating moments of excitement throughout the school.

Younger students also received an added treat. Children in Pre-K through 1st Grade enjoyed an interactive holiday show featuring music, storytelling, and festive entertainment—turning the day into a full celebration of fun and community spirit.

“Today was all about bringing joy to our students,” said School Board Member Danny Espino. “Seeing their smiles is a reminder of why our work matters. I’m grateful to our community partners who step up every day to support our schools.”

The event highlighted the commitment of local leaders to uplifting students, strengthening community ties, and supporting meaningful experiences for children during the holiday season.
