Students from Arbolita Elementary School recently had an exciting opportunity to explore higher education possibilities during a visit to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). This engaging outing, part of the "I'm Going to College" fair, offered our young learners a glimpse into college life. Highlighting the experience, the students had the privilege of attending a thrilling women's basketball game at UCLA's renowned Pauley Pavilion, featuring the nationally #2 ranked team. This event was not only entertaining but also inspirational, providing our students with a real-life example of academic and athletic excellence.

The students, mostly wearing casual clothing, seem to be on a campus tour or a school trip, with some looking at the camera and others enjoying the sunny day. The expansive lawn and clear skies suggest a peaceful, academic setting.
