SAUSD’s Jefferson Elementary Celebrates Acceptance Into Anaheim Angels’ Adopt-A-School program
A school wide assembly was held at SAUSD’s Jefferson Elementary School on April 25, 2023 to celebrate the campus’ acceptance into the Anaheim Angels’ 15th annual Adopt-A-School program, presented by OC Waste & Recycling.
Angels representatives - including player Luis Rengifo, radio host Roger Lodge and Strike Force members - greeted and interacted with students and staff during the morning event.
During the assembly, Rengifo signed hats, jerseys and other memorabilia for students and staff, and engaged in a Q&A session with scholars facilitated by Lodge.
Each year the Angels Baseball Foundation works with the Orange County Department of Education to identify five elementary schools to adopt. In 2023, this work was accomplished in partnership with OC Waste & Recycling, as a new Adopt-A-School sponsor.
As part of the program, Jefferson will receive a $2,000 grant from the Angels Baseball Foundation, a four pack of game tickets per student, and an Adopt-A-School banner.
In addition, the team will provide support in promoting growth in literacy, STEM programs, bullying prevention and other school initiatives, and in baseball-themed initiatives focusing on leadership, integrity and diversity.
