Torres Elementary

Torres Raptors showed up and showed OUT for Operation Purple Power! 💜🤸‍♀️

Students with consent forms rotated through exciting stations including the balance beam, springboard jumps onto a crash mat, and inclined wedge mats for forward rolls, building confidence, coordination, and strength. Torres students also powered through slider stations for an extra upper body challenge!

This high-energy day celebrated the strength and resilience of our military-connected students—and our Raptors truly soared with Purple Pride! 💜🦅
