Scenes from Our 2023 Community Block Party
Last year, we came together on a beautiful spring day to enjoy lively performances by student groups and colorful displays of student art and class projects. Students of all ages—from TK singers to the BHS pep band—shared their talents with the Berkeley community. Interactive elements for the whole family included games with the award winning BHS Robotics Team, a mobile mending cart by the BHS Arts & Humanities Academy (AHA), and, of course, giant bubbles!
We look forward to another day of celebration and community when we gather for our third annual Community Block Party on April 27th. We hope to see you there.
