Community Assembly!

Skyline Vista Elementary

As an addition to the Penny Harvest, Skyline Vista Coach Callae Johancen organized a "Community Assembly" for the school to show the students of Skyline Vista what it means to take care of their community. Those invited to the event were the Mayor of Westminster, Police Department, Fire Department, Parks and Recreation as well as Public Works Representatives. This event is a wonderful way to expand upon what the Penny Harvest strives to do for our students and the community.
