Book & A Basket with POLB!
This year the Casa Bella Foundation has teamed up with The Port Of Long Beach to provide the youth “A Book & A Basket” this Easter season. The book of the season is an “ocean” themed based curriculum, as The Port Of Long Beach encourages the youth to learn and explore careers by The Port. Our ocean provides tons of opportunities for generations to come and they have an overall plan called the “Healthy Harbor Program” that explains the measures on how we can preserve and care for our nearest ocean.
We wish all Casa Bella kids a Happy Easter! Thank you Port of Long Beach!
