The PABSE/AAPAC Welcome Back Extravaganza Family Night was an incredible evening filled with fun, community, and celebration! Families enjoyed delicious food, lively music, dancing, video games, health and dental screenings, along with hair braiding and manicure stations. Dozens of vendors came together to provide valuable services and resources for Pomona Unified students and parents. A highlight of the night was Dr. Theresa Price from the National College Resources Foundation, who surprised families with cash and gift card giveaways.
This memorable evening was a true showcase of unity, support, and the many opportunities available to our PUSD community. A heartfelt thank you goes to PABSE/AAPAC for their hard work in gathering so many wonderful vendors and resources to make the event such a success. We are also grateful to Superintendent Darren Knowles and Board Member Dr. Roberta Perlman for joining us and showing their support for our students, parents, and families.
Thank you to all the resource vendors who supported A Great Family Night!
