THE TASTE OF LA SALLE DRAWS HUNDREDS

Pasadena, CA – The Alumni Association of La Salle High 
School hosted the return of the much anticipated biennial 
Taste of La Salle on March 19th on campus. Over 350 guests 
tempted their taste buds with delicious food and drink from 
the 36 participating restaurants and beverage vendors. 
The Opportunity Drawing drew a lot of interest with 10 delicious 
prizes up for grabs. Ash Rizk won the highly coveted Grand Prize 
“Eat Out For a Year” basket which included more than $2,500 
worth of gift cards to local eateries. The event raised $24,000 for 
the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund which benefits incoming 
freshmen and graduating seniors. 

 The next Taste of La Salle will be held in 2018...and is sure to be 
even tastier!

PASADENA UNIFIED TO HOST EARLY EDUCATION EXTRAVAGANZA

Families, Community Invited to Learn about PUSD’s Preschool and Kindergarten Options

Pasadena, CA – The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) invites families with 
young children to explore the district’s preschool and kindergarten options at the 
second annual Early Education Extravaganza on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, from 
4 to 6:30 p.m. at Madison Elementary School. The Extravaganza will showcase 
transitional kindergarten, preschool, and kindergarten opportunities, and feature 
musical performances, student art displays, family reading and math activities, 
summer “kinder prep” resources, and much more. Families can also register for 
kindergarten and learn how to get ready for the first day of school.“The early years 
of a child’s education set the foundation for growth and progress,” said PUSD 
Superintendent Brian McDonald, Ed.D. “We invite families to come and discover 
the world of opportunities in PUSD schools.”

 For children turning three by September 1, 2016, PUSD Early Childhood 
Education Programs offer high quality full and part day preschool during the 
school year. Families of all income levels can apply and those families eligible for 
state funding may receive services for free or for a low monthly fee. Before and after 
school care is also available for school age children at Jefferson and Longfellow 
Elementary. Please call (626) 396-5762, extension 10070, for more information.

 PUSD offers transitional kindergarten, a two-year program for children with 
birthdays in the fall, at seven campuses in 2016-2017: Jefferson Elementary School, 
Longfellow Elementary School, Madison Elementary School, McKinley School, 
Norma Coombs Alternative Elementary School, Washington Elementary STEM 
Magnet School, and Willard Elementary School. Enrollment for transitional 
kindergarten also takes place at the school of residence.

 To be eligible for kindergarten in the 2016-2017 academic year, children must 
be five years old by September 1, 2016. Families can register for kindergarten by 
visiting the Early Education Extravaganza or their school of residence, which can be 
determined by visiting gopusd.com/locator. To register for kindergarten, families 
should provide the following:

The child’s birth certificate 

His/her most recent immunization record 

 Two proofs of residency in the form of a current gas, electric or water bill in the 
parent/ guardian’s name and a rental or lease agreement with payment receipt, 
mortgage statement or property tax bill

 There are also limited spaces available at some elementary schools across 
the district via the second round of PUSD’s Open Enrollment, April 4–8, 2016. 
Applications are accepted online at openenrollment.info.
