Brisbane Recycling Co.

The BEST/PTO has been the community-based volunteer and fundraising organization for the Brisbane School District since our incorporation as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation in 1992. Our relationship with the School District (Officially established in 1994) is to work with the Board of Trustees to apply our fundraising and organizing efforts to the educational needs of the district, as determined by the School Board and the BEST/PTO Foundation board of directors, made up of district parents and staff representing all three schools in our district. The BEST/PTO is dedicated to supporting the schools of the Brisbane School District through fundraising and community building efforts. We raise money that supplements our district library aide program, helping to keep the school libraries open, as well as funds to offset the costs of instructional aides and materials throughout the district. We also provide additional funds for the Principals at each school that are used for a rich variety of offerings including educational programs, assemblies and field trips, as well as parent educational presentations. The BEST/PTO Presidents at each school organize individual site fund raisers and community-building activities, and coordinate parent volunteer efforts in each of the three schools of our school district. We are constantly seeking to strengthen our District community through inclusion and communication. Please email your school's BEST/PTO President to find out how you can take part. Email addresses can be found at the "BEST/PTO Board" link to the left. The BEST/PTO is a 100% volunteer driven non-profit corporation. We pay no salaries and rely on community volunteers to keep our expenses low. We hold one very small fundraiser every year to raise our operating costs, which represents a very small percentage of our total fundraising. The vast majority of the money we raise goes directly to programs and services in your schools. What does that mean? That EVERY dollar donated for programs and services goes directly to programs and services that directly benefit our kids. Our efforts provide the vital resources our schools need to continue their high standards of educational excellence. Funds raised by BEST/PTO allow our principals, teachers, and parents to make local decisions about what is in the best interest of our community's children based on their day-to-day interactions with them. The BEST/PTO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity comprised of parents, school administrators, teachers, and community members who generously donate their time, enthusiasm and creativity to help our schools be the best that they can be.
