Alumni, students, and parents of the Henry Viscardi School made a splash in Long Beach with Surf For All, riding waves and breaking barriers in an adaptive surfing event that brought our community together. A big thank you to for creating an inclusive, welcoming space where everyone can embrace new challenges, share moments of joy, and build lasting memories.
