— San Bruno Parents Club Board
The first two months of the year have been filled with fantastic events for families of all ages! From book clubs that sparked thoughtful discussions to cozy movie nights that brought families together, our club has been busy creating opportunities to connect, learn, and have fun.
We’ve seen little ones explore music and movement in our Music Together classes, infants and caregivers bond at our playgroups, and parents take a well-deserved break at our Parent’s Night Out. Whether it was sharing a meal at a potluck or sweating it out at Barry’s Bootcamp, each event reminded us how valuable this community is.
None of this would be possible without the time and effort of our incredible volunteers. Your energy and ideas keep our club thriving, and we’re always looking for more ways to bring families together. If you have suggestions for future events or connections within the community that could help make them happen, we’d love to hear from you!
Here’s to more fun, learning, and support in the months ahead—stay tuned for what’s next!
Our club thrives because of the amazing energy and dedication of members like you! Volunteering is not only a great way to give back but also a fantastic opportunity to meet other families, share ideas, and make our community even more special.
