The Long Beach Unified School District's recent Education Celebration at McBride High School, where each of the district's elementary, middle and K-8 schools provided information about their programs, attracted a record 5,400 people.
The event is part of the school district's School Choice program, which this year also included a popular series of high school choice fairs. Those events, held in November, attracted thousands of families and drew standing-room-only crowds.
