Raymon Flores, president of Flores Concepts, which operates several renowned restaurants in Tucson, made a generous donation of gifts and food to all the students at JB Wright Elementary School. Flores explained that his involvement began when he fell in love with the community school gardens and wanted to do something extra for a school in need. After consulting with a colleague, Moses, he decided to support JB Wright Elementary, located near the Grant Alvernon Corridor.

Despite negative perceptions of the area, Flores chose to embrace the school and its community, launching his initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic with a drive-through Christmas event. Over time, the effort expanded, drawing in friends and supporters to raise toys, provide meals, and create a memorable Christmas experience for the students.The event served as a heartwarming way to close out the year, bringing smiles and holiday cheer to children who might not otherwise experience such festivities.

JB Wright Elementary hosted Career Day on May 6, bringing in professionals from different fields who shared their career experiences with students. The event provided students with valuable insights and inspiration for their future paths.

JB Wright Elementary recently held our AVID Revealed day, drawing educators and administrators from across the district. The event served as a collaborative platform for sharing insights and learning about the implementation of AVID strategies at our school.
