The South Pasadena Educational Foundation (SPEF) was formed in 1979 by parents and community leaders and was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) charity in 1980. The mission of SPEF is to support educational excellence in the public schools of South Pasadena by raising funds to supplement the school district’s budget and by operating enrichment programs for local students. Donations to SPEF support Arroyo Vista, Marengo, and Monterey Hills elementary schools, South Pasadena Middle School, and South Pasadena High School, and SPEF raises funds through donations and by administering summer school and after-school programs for a fee. SPEF recognizes that some families may need assistance to help their students attend Summer School and sets aside funds each year to assist families in need, and only current SPUSD students or South Pasadena residents are eligible for tuition assistance, which is limited and encourages early application. The leadership team includes Executive Director Stacey Leonard Petersen, Program Coordinator Brionne Cox, Development Coordinator Malinda Vargas, and Bookkeeper Sioe Scott.
For students who need medication at Summer Camps or Summer School, families who have completed Medication On Campus paperwork with the district can pick up the paperwork on the last day of school and bring it to Summer School or Summer Camps. On the first day, families bring the Medication On Campus form to the office or camp check-in, place the medication in a clear plastic bag with the student’s picture on it, and the Health Clerk, Office Staff, or Camp Staff takes it and meets the student.
