December is Human Rights Month. Throughout the month, we will be celebrating Elboya’s diverse community by highlighting and recognizing the many special events and observances that are meaningful to our families, such as Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, the Winter Solstice, and others that are important within our school community.
Band
