Pasadena, CA --- Local realtors have joined with 
the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) and 
the Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF) to 
donate more than 1,700 books to promote reading 
this summer. Every PUSD second grader received 
a book to read this summer. The book donation 
partners with the Pasadena Public Library’s 2017 
Summer Reading program for kids, teens, and 
adults to encourage reading during the summer 
months. This is the second year that local realtors 
have donated books for Pasadena Unified second 
graders to read over the summer.

 “Reading during the summer is important so 
that kids stay engaged in learning and exploring 
the world around them, and are ready for the new 
school year,” said Superintendent Brian McDonald. 
“I would like to thank local realtors and our 
community partners for encouraging students and 
families to read during the summer.”

Local realtors donated fiction and nonfiction books 
at second, third, and fourth grade reading levels. 
Each second grader selected a book from a variety 
of titles to read at home this summer.

 “I am glad to partner with other realtors to 
promote the joy of reading among young children,” 
said realtor Carrie Benuska of John Aaroe Group, 
who leads the initiative.“Participating in the summer book 
donation and in Read Across PASadena each spring demonstrates 
our commitment to working together in support of Pasadena-area 
families. I am thrilled to be part of it!”

 The summer book donation is part of the Pasadena Educational 
Foundation’s realtor initiative that connects local realtors with 
Pasadena Unified schools. Local realtors also participate in the 
annual Read Across PASadena event that brings elected, business, 
and community leaders to read to Pasadena Unified students each 
spring.

 The summer book donation and Read Across PASadena 
were inspired by Collaborate PASadena, a coalition of public 
organizations, cities, and individuals who work together to make 
Pasadena, Altadena, and Sierra Madre places where children grow 
up in supportive environments that prepare them for success in 
school and in life.

 Participating realtors in the summer book collection include 
John Aaroe Group, Berkshire Hathaway, Compass, Coldwell 
Banker, Deasy/Penner, Dilbeck, and Podley Properties.

Summer reading and Read Across PASadena partners include the 
local realtor community, the Pasadena Educational Foundation, the 
Pasadena Public Library, Collaborate PASadena, United Teachers 
of Pasadena, California School Employees Association, Reading 
Partners, and Reading is Fundamental of Southern California.

To sign up for the Pasadena Public Library’s Kids Summer Reading 
Program, visit cityofpasadena.libguides.com/summer-reading. 
Kids, teens, and their adults can sign up to log their reading and 
earn prizes through July 29, 2017.

BOSCO TECH STUDENTS BEGIN PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIPS 
THROUGHOUT L.A. AREA

ROSEMEAD, CA. – June 26, 2017 
– Sixteen Don Bosco Technical 
Institute (Bosco Tech) students 
have been selected to participate 
in exciting summer internships 
sponsored by organizations 
including The Boeing Company, 
Kaiser Permanente, and NASA’s 
Jet Propulsion Laboratory 
(JPL) that will have them 
working under the direction of 
engineers, architects, doctors, 
and scientists in the coming 
weeks. 

 The internships will provide 
the high school students with 
invaluable hands-on experience 
while increasing their exposure to 
STEM professions. The students 
were selected to participate based 
on high academic standing, 
strong communication skills, 
and excellent problem solving 
abilities. 

 Under the guidance of engineer 
mentors, the seven-week Boeing 
program will offer the students 
exposure to a variety of aerospace 
engineering careers such as 
spacecraft systems engineering 
and antenna mechanical systems 
and design. They will also have 
the chance to present a group 
project to Boeing engineers, 
while Kaiser Permanente’s 
internship program will provide 
opportunities for students 
to shadow doctors and learn 
about careers in medicine and 
healthcare.

 The JPL interns, Shant 
Loussararian (Montebello) and 
Frank Lora (West Covina) are 
seniors who interned at the La 
Canada Flintridge lab’s electrical 
and computer engineering 
systems department last summer 
and were invited to return this 
year. Both students recently 
graduated from Bosco Tech’s 
Computer Science and Electrical 
Engineering technology 
program. 

 “Our enthusiastic and 
hard working students are 
ready to begin these amazing 
internships,” said Bosco Tech 
Principal Xavier Jimenez. “They 
have undergone extensive job-
preparation exercises to prepare 
them for the demands of the 
programs, and these internships 
will complement Bosco 
Tech’s unique STEM-focused 
curriculum.”

 Bosco Tech is an all-male 
Catholic high school that 
combines a rigorous college-
preparatory program with a 
technology-focused education. 
The innovative curriculum allows 
students to exceed university 
admission requirements while 
completing extensive integrated 
course-work in one of several 
applied science and engineering 
fields. Visit www.boscotech.edu 
or call (626) 940-2000 for more 
information.
