Health & Wellbeing

The Whole Child

The Pasadena Educational Foundation is committed to supporting the health and fitness of all our PUSD students. At the elementary level, we help pay for buses to take every third grader to learn water safety and swimming skills in the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center’s PUSD swim program. We bolster access to healthy living resources by supporting four Healthy Start Family and Community Centers, and we partner with Pasadena Community Gardens Conservancy to teach healthy living through nine edible school-community gardens, a master gardener, and farm to table programs. We help fund an asthma nurse to monitor all students with asthma, and we are invested in helping our middle and high schools build their athletic programs and facilities, including the recent renovation of the Muir baseball field.
