Extending Educational Excellence to All Students

Please join us in extending educational excellence to all our students at all five South Pasadena schools.

SPEF’s commitment to students in our community is unwavering

Just as the community answered the call 43 years ago, parents, residents, and business owners of South Pasadena today recognize the shortfall between school funding and the true needs of ensuring excellence in education.

As our students return to school, we come seeking your sustained support.

Your contributions help fund vital services such as:

• Funding for the Broadcast Journalism program at SPHS
• Visual and performing arts classes for K-12 students, including music, drama, photography, and art exploration
• Mindfulness and emotional health instruction and support for all students
• Digital citizenship and technology coaches and curriculum to help both students and teachers navigate online learning
• New science curriculum and robotics equipment for elementary and middle school STEAM classes
• Biomedical, Computer Science, and Engineering pathways for the high school
• $130,000 in teacher-directed grants to enhance the educational experience for all students
• $150,000 in Major Grants to the District to fund larger projects at the school sites. Examples are the new Anatomage table at the High School for science classes and upgraded lighting and sound equipment for the Janet Anderson Auditorium.

Supporters like you are our lifeline and more important than ever. A donation in any amount can help extend excellence to more than 5,000 students in South Pasadena.
