Programs and results

What we aim to solve

The San Bruno Education Foundation aims to help address the underresourced schools in the San Bruno Park School District and to help address the academic achievement gap faced by socioeconomically disadvantaged children within our community.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Music Education Strategic Initiative

Support comprehensive K–12 music education in partnership with Capuchino High School including early music programs, band, and orchestra.

Population(s) Served
Students
Economically disadvantaged people

Population(s) Served
Students
Economically disadvantaged people

We are fortunate to have a very diverse community of students with a spectrum of different needs for academic support. Research has shown that our accelerated learner and highly creative students benefit from supplemental enrichment opportunities to foster their development and to fan the flames of their academic interests. We were pleased to support the district this year with the launch of a GATE program that included parental educational workshops as well as STEM enrichment opportunities for our students.

Population(s) Served
Students

Our teachers are the ultimate impact makers for our school system. Beyond teaching our children the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in life, they provide life lessons and help our kids grow into successful contributors to our community. The SBEF is fully committed to supporting our district in providing essential professional development opportunities to assist our staff with polishing and growing their teaching tools to maximize their impact in the classroom. This year we supported numerous professional development opportunities focused in particular on Next Generation Science Standards and cutting edge STEM training.

Population(s) Served

As our classrooms transform from teacher/textbook-centered to student/inquiry-centered learning environments, technology will play an increasing role in how students access and incorporate information as they build their knowledge base. We recognize the impact of the "digital divide" that disadvantages our students with less access to technology due to more limited financial resources. We are committed to working with our school district to support all students with technology to fully enable their learning both within and outside of their classrooms.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
At-risk youth
Economically disadvantaged people

The San Bruno Park School District is located adjacent to the Silicon Valley and Oyster Point global technology hubs. To prepare our students to compete for careers in the local market, we must deliver a robust education that fully leverages available learning-enabling technology tools. Further, our students must be proficient with the use of technology for collaborative, project-based work with peers in alignment with our Portrait of the Graduate framework. We work with our school district to support incorporation of STEM curricula the develop attributes to contribute to their communities - collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and compassion.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

The San Bruno Education Foundation envisions a community united behind empowering children to be life-long learners. We aim to strengthen public education for all San Bruno Park School District children.

In order to strengthen public education for all San Bruno Park School District children we will foster community partnerships, advocate around issues of public education on behalf of our community's children, and enhance resources to supplement educational opportunities that will inspire life-long learning. Our more near term strategies will focus on two primary objectives: 1) to enhance communication and to promote a unified foundation of support between the San Bruno Park School District administration, the onsite PTA/PTO leadership at our 5 elementary and 1 intermediate schools, and our student families, and 2) to plan, promote, and execute community building events that will raise awareness of critical challenges and opportunities in San Bruno public schools.

The San Bruno Education Foundation is fortunate to have an all volunteer board of talented and hard working individuals willing to dedicate their gifts to making a difference for our children and our community. Over the 15 year history of our organization, we have evolved from raising approximately $5,000 in annual funding to over half a million dollars in 2018-2019. We accomplished this achievement by weaving together an ecosystem of support from our local business, corporate, philanthropic, foundation, and civic communities. We have worked closely with our various partners and the San Bruno Park School District administration to support a rich variety of supplemental academic enrichment programming, transformational initiatives, and professional development for our hard working staff.

Historically, the San Bruno Education Foundation primarily supported our schools by the provision of supplemental funding to our site leadership. More recently, we have shifted focus toward broader district-wide programming and transformational initiatives that we believe are likely to have greater impact for more students across San Bruno Park. We hope to leverage economies of scale and to engender consistent, high quality systems of support that ensure a balance of equity and equality for all children in our schools. We are particularly proud of our award-winning music education programs that provide a continuum of high quality music education opportunities for all students in our district. As we look forward we hope to build upon that foundation to increase support for our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math programming opportunities as well as increasing our professional development support for staff and increasing support for systems to ensure that struggling students are quickly connected with appropriate resources to ensure that they can achieve their full academic potential.
