The 16th Annual Back-to-School Blitz was a huge success!!

The Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District No. 35 celebrated a milestone with its 16th 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 vision screening provided by the Green Valley Lions Club, and nutritious lunches from Southwest Food Excellence for all students and their siblings.
