Why: Please join the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Unified School District at the upcoming groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the start of construction of the new joint-use community center/multi-purpose room and school building project at Garfield Elementary School.

Collaboration with the community was key to making this project a reality. Through extensive community outreach efforts conducted for the Station District housing project and Transit Zoning Code, the need for a community center in the Lacy Neighborhood was identified as a top priority.

With Garfield Elementary School being truly the heart of the neighborhood, an ideal alliance was formed. Join Mayor Pulido, members of the Santa Ana City Council, members of the Santa Ana Unified School District Board of Education, Superintendent Dr. Thelma Meléndez de Santa Ana, city and school district staff, and community members in celebrating the fruition of this joint project that will benefit the entire community.

Visuals: The ceremony will feature performances by the Garfield Elementary preschool and 5th grade choirs. Elected officials from the city and school district will hold shovels at the construction site to symbolize the beginning of the groundbreaking. Interviews will be available prior and immediately following the ceremony.
