BEST / PTO

Hello, School District Community- Panorama, Brisbane Elementary, and Lipman Families!

On Sunday, December 4th, please join us for an old-fashioned meeting on the town square—in Community Park in downtown Brisbane, for a cookout and meet and greet/chat with fellow families in the District! We'll have a grill running and hot beverages to share, all before the ceremonial Festival of Lights.

We have come to the conclusion that over this past (nearly) three years of zoom meetings, limited in-person activities, and the distance we've kept since 2020—well, they've made it so much harder for us to connect with each other in person, adults and students alike. So let's safely gather outdoors, (mask up if you want!), meet each other in person, and share some food and chat to kick off the holiday season!

We'll be setting up around 3:00 PM in Community Park. The Festival of Lights begins at 5:45 PM at the Top of Visitacion Avenue and continues at 6PM at the Community Park- where Brisbane Parks and Rec will be providing cocoa and holiday cookies!

Hope to see you there- we have lots to catch up about!

Your BEST/PTO

The superintendent sent this out in his community letter last night. This is YOUR opportunity to learn more about the discussions between the Brisbane School District, the CIty of Brisbane, Jefferson Union (our high school district), and the Bayshore School District (our neighbor school district to the north).
In this joint public meeting this afternoon (Wednesday, October 14th @ 4:30 PM). The four entities will discuss and share ideas surrounding the future development in the Baylands.

Hello,

I hope this note finds you well.

This year the BEST/PTO is hosting and moderating a virtual Candidates Forum on October 15th at 7:30pm. During the forum, voters will hear statements from the candidates and their responses to questions posed by members of the community. The event will be broadcast live on WebEx at this link https://bit.ly/34aMdxD. Attendance will be anonymous, and you shouldn't need to download any software before the event, WebEx works in a web browser.

We’re asking the community to submit questions to the moderators in advance for the candidates to answer during the forum. Often, there isn't time to ask all questions, so the moderators will sort the questions by topic and combine similar questions. Questions will be collected until October 11th at 5pm and the identity of the respondents will be confidential. Submit your questions here: www.bit.ly/2020besd.

Feel free to share this with any community members in the school district.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the event.
Stay safe and healthy,

Tony Palmer
Chairman, BEST/PTO

This is our primary fundraiser for the operating costs of running the PTO (Insurance, storage, bookkeeping). We are an all-volunteer non-profit, our board members are parents of kids in the district and don’t take salaries or benefits of any kind.

Even if you can't help out in the booth, come to the event. It's open to all and a load of fun for all ages!

Yours in service,

Tony Palmer, Chairman, BEST/PTO
