Valerie Mendoza, Amara Ononiwu, Manuel Carmona, Lisa Barrios, Cindy Bengtson, and Karen Burgess at PEF’s Principal for a Day. Some of our incredible alumni and board members stepped into the shoes of local school principals as part of the Pasadena Educational Foundation's (PEF) Principal for a Day event on Wednesday, Oct. 25. This unique initiative allows leaders to gain firsthand insights into the challenges and triumphs of Pasadena Unified School District schools, students, and families. It's all about strengthening our community's commitment to education, one day at a time.
LPers who were Principals for a Day this year were: Greg Apodaca, Lisa Barrios, Cindy Bengtson, Manuel Carmona, Portia Harris, Brenda Harvey-Williams, Carla Hegwood, Valerie Mendoza, and Amara Ononiwu. Alumnae Marleni Jimenez and Nancy Carol Inguanzo, both PEF employees, helped coordinate the event. Karen Burgess, a member of PEF’s Board of Directors, served as an ambassador to City of Pasadena Council Member Jason Lyon as he visited Hamilton Elementary. Other alumni, including Willard Elementary Principal Maricela Brambila, attended the celebratory luncheon that wrapped up the day. We couldn't be prouder of this example of LP community engagement!
