The Posy Parade is Coming

The floats. The Capuchino alumni band. The community spirit. The baseball game afterwards. The city's annual children's parade brings out the best in San Bruno.

The San Bruno Posy Parade is coming this Sunday, June 3rd, at 1 p.m.! All of the San Bruno schools are preparing their floats! It's cool when I go to pick up my kids at Allen School around this time because a lot of the schools bring their floats there for storage since Allen is close to the starting point of the parade.

The San Bruno Lions Club is preparing its hot dogs, chips, sodas and the Posy Parade Princess Float! The Capuchino Alumni Band is preparing its debut, and the Parkside Intermediate School is preparing its first float in 10 years! 

Some other highlights will be the cheering San Bruno baseball and softball teams, various marching bands, floats made by the students, parents and teachers of the San Bruno elementary schools and community floats put together by orginizations such as the Mothers Club. 

This year's theme is "Education is Everything." The Posy Parade is celebrating its 72nd year!

Wherever you will watch, get there early, especially if you watch on Crystal Springs. I always watch from the corner of Crystal Springs and Cypress Ave. because it is close to my house. I love walking to San Bruno Park afterwards to socialize, buy a hot dog and watch a baseball game, which is usually between St. Robert's and Parkside...seems so politically "incorrect"...catholic school vs. public. Oh well, it's still cool! :)

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
