Hey there, -

Sweeping on Monday....

Because Monday is April 7th and the first Monday of the month, sweeping will only cover the ODD addresses. 

Thanks for being flexible and moving your vehicles on Monday this week.. Thanks!

Next Tuesday (April 15th) is not only tax day, but it will also be our the next EVEN address sweeping day.

Every 15 Minutes - A Moving Event

Every couple of years, The Youth Center arranges for the Every 15 Minutes program to happen at Los Al. It's huge production and incorporates dozens of people and agencies to create a moving impact for our school community. 

Thanks to Conner Brown and Los Al's Focus Studios, everyone can benefit from the program. From the personal choices of the actors, to the impact of "the walking dead" on their classmates, this program saves lives.

Take the 15 minutes to watch the excellent video produced by our high school students and their advisors. And, when you see them, thank the actors and production team for all their efforts. Amazing.

This opportunity to show off student talents while contributing to the fundraiser was a great success on campus.

Interact Club partnered with the Rotary Club of Los Alamitos, Cypress and Seal Beach to help raise money for pediatric schistosomiasis treatment.

Schistosomiasis is an acute and chronic disease caused by parasitic worms living in infested waters. The disease is prevalent in tropical and subtropical environments and can cause abdominal pain, kidney damage and anemia....
