Student Showcase at Irene M. Hunt
On May 21, 2026, the Irene M. Hunt School hosted its annual art showcase, where students proudly shared their work with family and friends. The event unfolded throughout the classrooms and extended into the gym, transforming the campus into a vibrant celebration of student creativity.

Laughter and conversation filled the halls as students guided loved ones to their classroom, eager to showcase their work, reflect on their learning, and connect with their teachers.

In the Side by Side gym, creativity took center stage. The space was transformed into a dynamic gallery, with student artwork displayed in a rich variety of styles, colors, and mediums—each piece offering a unique glimpse into the individuality and imagination of its creator.

Independent City: A Day of Learning and Fun
We’re excited to share that ILP’s recent Independent City event, hosted by Patelco Credit Union, was a huge success—bringing together 31 youth for a day of hands-on learning and meaningful connection.
Participants strengthened their financial literacy skills through the engaging Bite of Reality simulation, gaining a realistic look at budgeting, decision-making, and the true cost of living. These practical experiences help equip our youth with skills they’ll carry into adulthood.
The day was filled with high energy, delicious tacos, exciting raffle prizes, and plenty of memorable moments. Most importantly, the event highlighted the power of collaboration and the dedication of our staff, Patelco volunteers, and community partners in creating impactful opportunities for the young people we serve.
