Puzzles, board games, card games, play stations, DVD movies were collected and donated by Coronado Rotary members. Escondido Rotary members donated hygiene products and more games and puzzles to the foster teens. Another surprise was from Mitch Mitchell and SDGE, who donated numerous boxes of delicious See’s Candies. The foster teens were very grateful and appreciative for all these items, especially knowing that they are not being forgotten during this difficult, trying time.
Friends of San Pasqual Academy is preparing to give the seniors a big send-off, since they are leaving their “home” as they graduate from San Pasqual Academy. It is a very scary and difficult time for them, since for many, this has been the only safe, nurturing and stable environment they have known. Friends of San Pasqual Academy offers all graduates scholarships, that will go towards furthering their education, whether it be a four-year university, community college or trade school. Currently, there are over 70 graduates that they are supporting. UCLA, San Francisco State, Humbolt State, Sacramento State, Cal State Fullerton, Cal State San Marcos, San Jose State, Palomar College, Southwestern College and more are just a few colleges that San Pasqual Academy’s foster graduates are attending.
