On a warm October evening, dozens of students walked back to school, many of them hand-in-hand with their parents, from the apartments perched above campus. Teachers lined up their cars in the parking lot for Lamar Elementary’s annual Trunk or Treat. A young boy dressed in an Iron Man costume hugged his teacher after clutching a handful of candy, as his sister toddled behind. Inside, nearly every cafeteria table was filled with parents and children.
