Halloween Parade Details & Parking Options
Parking during the Halloween Parade can be frightening. Make the morning a little less scary by reserving a spot in the parking lot of our neighbors, the Congregational Church of Northridge. Reserve your spot for the Halloween Parade and support Balboa students at the same time. 🎃 Parking donations help fund enrichment programs like PE, music, gardening, and science that keep our children curious, active, and engaged.

THANK YOU to all of the parent volunteers that have already helped during our first week of Psychomotor. Please continue to signup as the mornings cool down and the activities heat up.
