The Power of Community & Connection
Annual Giving Fund 2022-2023
As we begin the 2022-2023 school year, we are looking forward to bringing back The Power of Community and Connection to Restore, Revitalize and Reimagine together. We have missed feeling connected with you, our community – meeting with one another and working together to advance the mission of New Horizon. For the past 38 years, New Horizon School has sought to develop in each student a positive identity as an American Muslim who is prepared intellectually, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically to succeed in a diverse and ever-changing world. We strive to cultivate in every New Horizon student an excellent character supported by Qur’anic principles, enriched with knowledge, and committed to the betterment of family, community, and humanity. We could not and cannot continue this excellent work without your support.
This year, your AGF donations will help enable us to become more committed to restoring, revitalizing, and reimagining. But what does this mean?
- RESTORING
- Restoring the school and community relationship with the Peace Garden.
- Restoring parent involvement in volunteer opportunities.
- Restoring alumni connections to each other and to our students.
- Restoring key programs like the music, competitive athletic, and debate programs.
- REVITALIZING
- Revitalizing communication with both print and digital media to keep you informed.
- Revitalizing safety and a security focus (conducting a security audit, new trainings for faculty and administration, CPR and First Aid training school-wide).
- Revitalizing STEM opportunities (with the addition of STEM specialists, creating more coding and engineering learning opportunities across grade levels).
- REIMAGINING
- Reimagining a GREEN campus by completing a Cypress & Orange Grove Parkway landscaping project and use renewable energy sources like solar panels and LED lighting, in partnership with the City of Pasadena DWP, landscape architects and generosity from the WAQF foundation.
- Reimagining social-Emotional Learning through a new SEL program Fly Five paired with a Responsive Classroom teaching/learning approach.

With your help, and the power of our community, New Horizon School Pasadena can continue to advance our mission and serve our deserving students and families.
