Altadena Sheriff’s Station Gets Surprise Visit

The staff and students of Altadena's Focus Point Academy that caters to special needs surprised the Sheriff's Station Tuesday and gave back.

The holidays are a time when people tend to focus on giving.

While the students at Altadena’s Focus Point Academy may be considered by some to be in the position of needing help, the staff and students of the school played the charitable role of Santa Tuesday.

“The Focus Point staff thought his year they would return the favor of the Altadena community's generous giving to the students,” said an Altadena Sheriff’s Station release.
