Dear BCE Supporters,
Thank you for investing in the future of all our Burlingame School District (BSD) TK-8th grade students. With your continued support, we granted $2.7M to Burlingame School District (BSD). This grant provides funding for 20 additional teachers in the areas of music and arts, health and wellness, world language and elementary intervention and support.
This was our largest grant to date and we are extremely grateful to all the parents, businesses, community members and friends of BCE who contributed to make this possible. BCE’s grant benefits all students in the district and helps our Burlingame community and schools stay strong and desirable!
Our BCE Board is made up entirely of fellow parent volunteers. Accomplishing our goals requires a collective effort, and BCE is committed to:
Leadership through a diverse board composed of parents from all school sites.
Celebrating participation at any amount.
Active engagement with the leaders of our school district, PTAs, and the City of Burlingame.
We have a lot to be proud of for what we accomplished during the 2022-2023 year but we also have our work cut out for us as we begin fundraising for the 2023-24 school year. We need your help! Please ask neighbors, friends, and family members to donate to keep great teachers in our community and crucial programs in our schools.
Give early in the school year and at a level that is meaningful to your family. Volunteer your time, talent and leadership to our shared mission. Together, we will be able to continue funding existing programs and help BSD meet additional needs in the future.
With gratitude,
The BCE Board of Directors
