Senior Series at Rush Park Los Al Football Youth Skills Camp Curb Address Painting Continues Every three years the RHA has the curb addresses painted for the entire community. These addresses are critical for emergency services as well as delivery services to find your home. And the uniform look adds to the neighborhood's
clean, consistent look. Did you know there are, over 3,400 addresses that are hand painted by Curbrite Addressing. The Curbrite team started in early March at the north end of the tract. The project should take about 4 weeks to complete, weather permitting. Check your address to see if it has already been painted. Los Al Link Helps Get People Around Town Running errands should not feel like planning a moon landing. But for many people—especially older adults who would rather not drive across town, hunt for parking, or navigate busy streets—it sometimes does. That’s where Los Al Link quietly enters the picture. If you have not heard of it yet, Los Al Link is a new on-demand transportation service launched by the City of Los Alamitos to help residents and visitors get around town safely, conveniently, and with a lot less hassle. Think of it as a friendly neighborhood version of Uber—except it’s electric, easy to schedule, and for residents 50 and older, completely free.
Pickups and drop-offs can be scheduled from anywhere within Los Alamitos city limits. Pickup and drop-off locations also include several nearby retail centers: • The Shops at Rossmoor
• Old Ranch Town Center (home to Target and
Ralphs)
• Rossmoor Village Square (home to Polly’s Pies and The Meat Company) From those locations, riders can travel to any destination within Los Alamitos—and return when they’re ready. One important detail: Los Al Link does not provide
residential pickups within Rossmoor itself. Riders would simply start their trip at one of the nearby retail pickup locations. Still, for many residents, that short hop to a pickup location opens the door to easy transportation across town. Get the full details

Abilities Awareness Week, held March 9-13, brought students and staff together for on-campus lunchtime activities to promote unity and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Events throughout the week were organized through the combined efforts of LAHS teachers, Best Buddies Club, Kindness Club and dedicated students whose
planning and participation made the events possible. Each day’s lunchtime event featured activities designed to encourage awareness and school-wide involvement. On Monday, students participated in different interactive table games that were designed to bring awareness of various types of
disabilities. Tuesday’s event invited students to participate in a game of bocce ball. The games continued on Wednesday, this time with student-versus-teacher bocce ball matches. No event was held on Thursday due to the school’s open house and minimum day
schedule. The week concluded on Friday with the completion of a creative art project and the creation of a Griffin mural; collaborative efforts highlighted inclusion and shared experiences within the school community. Students also celebrated Pi Day, with Best Buddies Club members and their buddies handing out pie together. “Awareness can go a long way in helping differently abled people,” said Tej Kasindula, Kindness Club’s Director of Outreach.
