As we approach our last week before winter break, there are several fun activities occurring in Escondido over the holidays.  In downtown Escondido, a roller rink hosted by the Escondido Downtown Business Association, City of Escondido,  is now open on weekends through the end of the year, and likely extends to each day, during the holidays, until December 28. It runs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all through December, and is located on Grand Avenue between Juniper and Kalmia. It is $5 if you bring your own skates and $10 if you need to rent skates. Check out this Link to a news article to find out more details on this and other local community events.

We wish you all a safe and happy winter break and look forward to seeing everyone return to school on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.
