The Pasadena Unified School District is hosting their annual First Choice Festival on Wednesday, October 21, 2015 from 4:30-7:00 p.m. at the Pasadena Convention Center. This event is free and open to the public. The festival is an opportunity for the community to explore the educational options that PUSD offers through networking with educators and students to learn more about PUSD schools, the first choice program and how to apply to a particular school. Last year, over 750 families attended.
DOT, HS&R and LIS are hosting tables to provide information about the important student support services that the City offers such as youth sports, the after school program, ARTS bus lines and the Library’s many literacy and educational support programs.
We hope to see you at this important event and welcome you to extend the invitation to your circles and
clients as well. As always, thank you for your time and please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Regards,
Kellee O.
