San Diego Eagles partnered with the local chapter of Santa Clara University alumni at the school, which is the oldest Catholic elementary school in San Diego, sponsored by the only Jesuit parish in San Diego, and located in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. With only one janitor on staff and another campus to care for, the BC and Santa Clara alumni assisted by painting walls and cleaning windows and classrooms.

Walls, both high and low, were painted with fresh, bright colors.
