Santa and his helpers visited McKibben Elementary earlier this month!

Students got to take a picture with Santa, receive a Grinch stuffy, and enjoy holiday treats. The grinch even made a special appearance. A great time was had by all!

Lassalette Elementary celebrated the grand opening of its new inclusive playground on Oct. 18, bringing students, families, and the community together to mark a new space where children of all abilities can play, connect, and thrive—side by side.

Thoughtfully designed by Dr. Mayra Helguera, Executive Director of Special Education, the playground features wheelchair-accessible swings, sensory play areas, and an inclusive merry-go-round, ensuring every child feels welcome and supported.

Thanks to HLPUSD’s general fund, this playground is more than a place to play—it’s a space where friendships bloom, and every student can shine. Please visit https://t.co/jHX4qf5WPo to read more!
