For this test payment options event, students in foster care settings or living without secure housing, the holidays may not always feel like the most joyous time of the year. The Riverside County Office of Education will be holding the first Winter Wonderland event for foster and homeless youth and their families from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, December 11, 2021, at the Riverside Convention Center (3637 5th Street, Riverside, CA  92501). 

“The Winter Wonderland event is a way for all students to have something to look forward to this holiday season,” said Riverside County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Edwin Gomez. “This event represents an opportunity to wrap our community’s collective arms around students who are deserving of positive reinforcement, loving kindness, and a fresh reminder of the importance of hope for the future.”
