We are heartbroken by the loss of one of our Hansel students, Abel Balderas.

For the last 2 years, Abel has walked through our front door every morning with the biggest smile! He truly brightened our hallways. He will be missed greatly by our staff, his teachers, and his friends. He was loved by all who knew him.

This Friday, August 14th, is Abel’s 7th birthday. He celebrated with his friends at a party a few weeks ago, and we want to celebrate his actual day BIG as we remember him. We ask that everyone in our community join us and WEAR GREEN (one of Abel’s 3 favorite colors) on Friday.

Please continue to keep Abel’s family, friends, classmates, teachers, and everyone who loved him in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this difficult loss together.

We love you Abel and you will always be a part of Hansel. 💚

We are working out details on others ways to continue supporting his family. We hope to share more details soon.
