School Photos - Las Posadas
Carrillo hosted our Las Posadas event on December 13th. This annual tradition has been celebrated at our school since 1937. The event included a procession through the historic Barrio Viejo neighborhood, with students and community members singing traditional songs together. The evening also featured performances by students from Tucson High and Holladay, adding to the festive atmosphere. Families in attendance were also able to enjoy a delicious warm meal together. Way to go staff, students, and volunteers for another amazing Las Posadas.

School Photos - Pickleball Clinic
On March 22, 3rd and 4th grade students at Carrillo K-5 Magnet School were treated to a little pickleball clinic. Steve Gall, who volunteers with Carrillo and is an avid pickleball player, got some of his friends together to help teach students the basics of pickleball. Principal Kirstin Bittel said she believes kids should try every sport, so she was more than happy to help host the clinic – and even got in on the action!

On February 2, our school hosted STAR Night, a space and solar system-themed STEAM event. The cloudy skies and intermittent rain kept students and families from being able to use telescopes outside, but there were still plenty of indoor activities for everyone to enjoy.
