Early bird registration is now open for the annual Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation (PPIE) State of the School District, being held virtually on Jan. 27 at 1 p.m.
Presented via Zoom this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the second annual event will feature an address by Superintendent David Haglund about the status and future of Pleasanton Unified School District and a presentation of the PUSD annual report.
Newly sworn-in Mayor Karla Brown will also “highlight plans to enhance city-school relations,” followed by a presentation of the annual Pillars of Pleasanton awards, which recognize leading local businesses for their support of local schools through fundraising, volunteerism and more.
Representatives said the organization is also “happy to report that due to a generous anonymous personal donation, PPIE was able to double funding to teachers to fund a broad range of software applications to enhance learning — which will have a direct impact on over 3,200 students.”
The Virtual Run for Education is back for a second year of supporting local schools while staying socially distanced. Participants will “run, walk, bike and more with your friends, schools and the entire community around the world” from April 11-18.
Early registration included “very low” entry prices, gift bags, group competitions and easy smartphone tracking, suggested routes for around town with included dates, and a “fun COVID-era” t-shirt and accompanying discounts at select local businesses for anyone wearing the shirt.
