Partnership for Success, a program which provides academic enrichment programs for Pasadena Unified School District students, marked its 35th anniversary with a community gathering at Westridge School’s campus.
Sparking a new tradition within the local community, the event welcomed new and current PFS students and families while also serving as a show of support for those affected by the recent Eaton Fire.
Approximately 400 guests attended the celebration, which began with a continental breakfast and music at the entrance before a formal program took place in Westridge’s Performing Arts Center, featuring speeches from PFS leadership and local officials.
“As we’ve seen in recent weeks following the devastating Eaton Fire, family, friends and community are precious gifts that we cannot take for granted,” said PFS Executive Director Jessica Pérez del Toro.
Founded in 1990, PFS offers PUSD students free summer programs over nine consecutive years, beginning in fourth grade, to prepare them for higher education.
