El Monte Union High School District and Mountain View High School will host the Jingle Mingle community event on December 13 to provide free health resources for local families. The holiday service day will bring screenings and giveaways to residents in partnership with the MVHS PTSA and local Lions Clubs.
Health Services Offered During Event
The Jingle Mingle community event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mountain View High School. Registration opens at 9:30 a.m. Visitors can receive hearing, vision and diabetes screenings at no cost. Lions Clubs International will staff mobile units and bring trained volunteers who support community health outreach across the region. Families will also receive free gift bags while supplies last. Organizers say the holiday setting helps make the experience friendly and low pressure for visitors of all ages.
District and School Leaders Build Engagement
Event partners created the Jingle Mingle community event to promote access to care and strengthen ties among the school, district and surrounding neighborhoods. MVHS PTSA President Jessica Castañon worked with district staff and service clubs to coordinate volunteers and outreach. El Monte Union leaders say the event highlights the district’s goal to support families beyond the classroom. Parent groups and Lions Club chapters have collaborated on previous outreach projects and view this event as an opportunity to expand services before winter break.
Community Focus and Holiday Spirit
The Jingle & Mingle community event invites all EMUHSD families to participate. Organizers expect a strong turnout due to the mix of health resources and seasonal activities. Volunteers plan to guide visitors through each screening station to maintain steady flow and give guests time to ask questions. Promotional materials stress the event’s theme of unity and support for the community. The district encourages residents to share information with neighbors and relatives who may need basic health checks. Full event details appear on the Mountain View High School website at https://www.emuhsd.org.
Local Partnerships Strengthen Outreach
Collaboration with the L. A. Progressive Lions Club and L. A. New Millennium Lions Club brings established health services to the campus. Lions Clubs have long provided mobile screenings throughout the region. Their participation allows MVHS to expand options for families who may not have regular access to preventive care. School staff say these partnerships help build trust and expand the reach of district programs.
Closing Outlook
The Jingle & Mingle community event aims to bring families together while offering vital health support during a busy season. District staff and parents hope the gathering strengthens community ties and encourages residents to return for future outreach events.
