Horace Mann Elementary Transforms Into a Winter Wonderland

Beverly Hills, CA (January 22, 2026) – On Tuesday, January 13th, Horace Mann Elementary School welcomed students, families, and staff for a magical Winter Wonderland event filled with snow, music, and meaningful community connection. Hosted in partnership with the Horace Mann PTA with support from the 5th Grade Promotion Committee, the evening brought the entire school community together for a joyful night on campus.

The celebration featured falling snow, glowing lights, winter crafts, cookie decorating, and a wide variety of seasonal treats, including hot cocoa, pizza, and cotton candy. Children played, created, and connected with friends while parents and staff joined in the festivities.

"What made this night so special wasn’t just the snow or the sweets, it was the joy of seeing our community come together," said Principal Dr. Steven Suttle. "Events like this reflect the heart of Horace Mann. You could feel the sense of connection, tradition, and Husky pride in every moment."

The event also supported the 5th Grade Promotion Committee, adding a fundraising purpose to the celebration. Dozens of parent volunteers worked to create a welcoming, safe, and festive atmosphere for students to enjoy.

True to its motto Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow, Horace Mann continues to foster not only academic excellence, but a culture of joy, belonging, and shared tradition.
