The economic climate doesn't change what kids need to grow and
thrive. Boom or bust, kids need a safe and challenging environment
during the summer to make sure they don't lose vital academic ground.
Peninsula Bridge understands our program is more critical now than
ever, and we were thrilled to open a new program site (our second in as
many years) at St. Matthew's Episcopal in San Mateo this past summer.
Our expansion enabled us to support 30 additional students (rising 5th
and 6th graders) from the San Mateo-Foster City School District. The new partnership has been exciting for all involved: "[St.
Matthews's] is very pleased to be serving as a host site this summer,
helping Bridge expand its reach into San Mateo and Foster City," says
Mark McKee, Head of School at St. Matthew's. "Our partnership is a good
find, as we both share the values of academic excellence and service."
Grainger Marburg, Bridge's executive director, enthusiastically
concurs, adding, "St. Matthew's is a great fit for us. They strongly
support our mission, and their commitment to our success makes our work
much easier. We are honored to be a partner."
