The San Bruno community is a true partner with San Bruno public schools in recognizing the importance of music education, not as a privilege for children, but as a necessary part of a child’s development to reach their full potential. The partnership supports the vision that San Bruno public schools provide equitable access to music education for all children through a continuum of superior music opportunities – from elementary through high school – that inspire, build self-confidence, and develop life skills in students, with the San Bruno community sharing in the value, pride and appreciation of their contributions. All K-5th graders in San Bruno Park School District now receive music education funded by the grant, which also helps support music at Parkside Intermediate and Capuchino High School.
