AESD joined the City of Anaheim to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Boysen Skate Park, located just down the street from Roosevelt Elementary School. Our Roosevelt students had a front row seat to this special moment alongside Superintendent Jesús Chavarría and Board President Jackie Filbeck. Congressman Lou Correa, Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken, Mayor Pro Tem Carlos Leon, Councilmember Norma Campos Kurtz, additional members of the Anaheim City Council and other community leaders were also in attendance.

The new skate park will become Anaheim’s 9th and will feature a skate bowl, rails, ledges, spectator seating, shaded areas and new landscaping. Even more special, local children and families helped shape the plans by sharing their ideas for what they wanted to see in their neighborhood.

For our Roosevelt students, today was more than a groundbreaking. It was an opportunity to see firsthand that young voices matter and that when a community comes together, their ideas can help shape the places they call home. .aesd

As our Juarez Elementary teachers and staff spent today getting everything ready to welcome students for the first day of school tomorrow, they received a magical surprise from Disney.

Every teacher and staff member was gifted Disney passes as a heartfelt thank you for the care, dedication, and hard work they bring to our students every day. There were plenty of smiles and excitement as they were reminded just how appreciated they are before the school year begins.

A huge thank you to Disney for this incredible act of kindness and for helping our Juarez team kick off the new school year with a little extra magic. We are so grateful for your generosity! .aesd

We are grateful to OOOCO, Anaheim Union High School District, city officials, and the many partners who helped bring this event together. We are especially proud to recognize OCCCO staff Maritza Bermudez, who is not only a dedicated community advocate, but also an AESD parent whose leadership continues to make a positive difference for students and families.

Community Schools are about more than academics. They create strong partnerships that connect students and families with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this historic investment possible.
