What a beautiful week to be on spring break. We had some incredible sunny days and are hoping that we had the last of the rainy days. The sports world was popping!! San Diego Wave had a record breaking home opener, all the Padre fans weathered a rainy opening day, and the SDSU Men's basketball team is unstoppable!! We are HUGE Aztec supporters at De Portola and we are encouraging everyone to wear red and black or your favorite Aztec gear on Monday, April 3. I couldn't think of a better way to launch this final stretch of the 2022-23 school year.
