Kids

Eugene Field Elementary currently has in attendance 380 of the most dynaminc children on the planet. The kids are funny, loving, smart, honest, beautiful, bright, talented, intelligent and full of life and love.

They overcome violence, poverty, abuse, addiction and negligence on a daily basis. 97% of our children live at or below poverty and 3 out of 4 have a significant relative in prison.

Despite these obstacles they are resilient and more beautiful each and every day. They are world changers with a perspective and loving heart unlike many. We are so proud they are attend our school!
