🍓🌱 A day full of wonder at the Ecology Center! 🌿✨ Our Palomas had an amazing time exploring, tasting, planting, and learning during their special field trip to the The Ecology Center! 🕊️💙 One of the most magical moments of the day was when one of our Palomas proudly shared that her mom and aunt work there as a farm worker, helping harvest the fresh fruits and vegetables that nourish so many families. 🍅👩‍🌾💚 It was such a beautiful and emotional moment watching her see her mom at work and even pick tomatoes together. A true proud Paloma moment! 🥹🫶 Thank you to all farm workers for your hard work, dedication, and care. Your work helps feed and nourish our communities every single day. 🌎❤️ During the visit, students got to: 🍓 Pick and taste strawberries 🫐 Try blackberries and mulberries 🥬 Taste fresh kale 🌱 Plant their very own tomato plants A huge thank you to Moises Plascencia and Cedric for helping make this meaningful experience possible for our students! 💙✨ 🍓🌱 ¡Un día lleno de magia en el The Ecology Center! 🌿✨ ¡Nuestras Palomas tuvieron un tiempo increíble explorando, probando, sembrando y aprendiendo durante su excursión especial al Ecology Center! 🕊️💙 Uno de los momentos más mágicos del día fue cuando una de nuestras Palomas compartió con mucho orgullo que su mamá trabaja allí como trabajadora agrícola, ayudando a cosechar las frutas y verduras frescas que alimentan a tantas familias. 🍅👩‍🌾💚 Fue un momento muy hermoso y emotivo verla observar a su mamá trabajando e incluso recoger tomates juntas. ¡Un verdadero momento de orgullo Paloma! 🥹🫶 Gracias a todos los trabajadores agrícolas por su esfuerzo, dedicación y cuidado.

Pio Pico has amazing teachers and parents! Our incredible TK teacher Mrs. Jaramillo invited one of our incredible parents (Mrs. Reynoso) and her daughter to teach the students how to play softball! This is Community School in action! One of our priorities is family engagement and what better way than to collaborate with parents and students to teach their friends about something new! Let’s Go Pio Pico! #sausdcommunityschools #familyengagement
