It is widely accepted that music education positively impacts both academic and social emotional learning. It is also something that all kids can partake in, regardless of learning or language challenges. This is why we have invested heavily in our Music Education Strategic Initiative. The goal is to align our elementary, middle and high school music education programs toward providing equitable access to a continuum of high quality music opportunities. Summer music programs and community music events have also been funded by the SBEF.

STEAM

Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math. We live in an epicenter of technological innovation. STEM is a focus of the San Bruno Park School District (SBPSD) and a focus of our SBEF dollars. The SBEF has sponsored professional development programs to support our staff in bringing the latest STEM teaching methods into our classrooms. Last year we helped launch the first weekend science fair programs for all 3rd - 5th graders. This funding culminated in the 2019 Science Fair at Parkside that included 50 participants who conducted and presented a diverse set of science projects.

Supplemental School Site and District Support

While all of our PTAs grow and develop the ability to fund necessary supplies and field trips for their individual schools, the SBEF has proudly stepped in to fill any gaps at the individual school sites. In addition to these basic needs and the programs highlighted above, we have also funded: foreign language programs licenses (Parkside), “Partners in Innovation” transformation work (Parkside), “Cash for Class” teacher recognition event, “Summer Reading Counts”, “Attendance Matters” initiative support, “Portrait of a Graduate” school district strategic development.
