The 15th Annual Back-to-School Blitz was a huge success!!

The Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District No. 35 celebrated a milestone with its 15th Annual Back-to-School Blitz, a community-driven event that provided essential resources to over 500 students in the district. The event, held indoors at Calabasas School, offered a range of support including free backpacks, spirit shirts, abundant school supplies, free haircuts made possible by All About Hair Etc Salon, and nutritious lunches from Sodexo Food Services for all students and their siblings.
