Elysian Heights Elementary Arts Magnet is nestled right below Elysian Park, serving both Elysian Heights and Echo Park neighborhoods. A Visual and Performing Arts elementary school, its mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and child-centered academic environment where children develop the creativity and problem-solving skills necessary to be compassionate, curious, and responsible leaders of the world.
They host Donnovan’s Run celebrating Donnovan Castellanos, a small but mighty 4th grade student at Elysian Heights who suffered a fatal asthma attack in 2015 inspiring the conception of the run. The goal of our Elysian Heights 5K is simple: build community, inspire a healthy lifestyle and raise funds for school enrichments and the American Lung Association in honor of Donnovan and clean air for all.
