Up, Up and Away: School Year Kicks Off at Villa del Rey Open House
- September 16, 2010
Dreams were taking flight Thursday night, September 2, when Villa del Rey Elementary School held its open house. The kick-off event for this school year was themed "Soaring to New Heights," and a special appearance by a full-sized, tethered hot-air balloon helped illustrate that slogan. The balloon’s appearance also was a celebration of the school’s recent rising test scores and symbolized the school’s future success, according to Principal Rebel Ellerbee.
