Can't wait to see coverage of the San Bruno Park and SMUHSD board meetings! Am looking forward to discussion of the November ballot measure, for instance, what do people think about SMUHSD planning to use bond money for purchase of land and construction of a new campus to house Peninsula High School?

Thanks to all for the comments on the video. Thanks should go mostly to David Perga for shooting and putting together a nice package. Heidi, I'd like to follow up with you about your comment on seeking coverage of school board issues. Are you or is someone you know really into these issues? Perhaps there is someone in San Bruno with an inside scoop or a fervent passion for schools who wouldn't mind contributing to the site. I really want our schools coverage to be comprehensive and relevant to people's lives here.

Not as active as I used to be, but for years I regularly attended school board meetings. I might have some things to tell you offline!

Just learned about this site from the Golden Gate National Cemetary on Sat. the 11th to lay wreaths. My husband and I went to the celebration because my sister Mindy is in the Air Force and came down from Sac. to lay wreaths with some of her troops. Our picture was taken by one of the photographers and he told us where we could look at it on patch.
How exciting, I love San Bruno, and I can't wait to explore this website, I'll tell my family and friends too!
