New Restaurant Helps Burlingame Schools

The Melt celebrates its arrival in Burlingame with a fundraiser for local education.

Posted by Miriam Finder (Editor), October 12, 2012 at 03:59 pm

Looking for a fun weekend activity? Try a new restaurant and help out Burlingame schools at the same time.

The Melt, a new restaurant opening in Burlingame this weekend, is celebrating its grand opening by hosting a fundraiser for the Burlingame Community Education Foundation.

Between 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday, 100 percent of proceeds will be donated to BCE. The Melt is opening at 1401 Burlingame Avenue in the old Burger Joint location.

BCE is a nonprofit established in 1981 that raises money for programs and education opportunities no longer afforded by state money.

To donate, visit www.bcefoundation.org/donate.

The Melt features unique grilled cheese sandwiches and soups and is headquarted in San Francisco.

Yes, we are well aware of this & can not believe the Burlingame district is proceeding with the…Read More plans for this school. The footprint of the school does not allow for safe drop off and pick up. I have seen a couple of different plans for the drop off line & none of them are adequate for the location. The traffic will surely be a nightmare & I hope we are not moved to this school, as there is not proper access for drop off. Also, not sure why the plans keep changing, maybe because they can not come up with a good plan.

Who will respond to emergencies at Hoover School? I measured the width of the two small bridges…Read More near the bottom of Canyon Road today. One is 17’ 10” and the other is 18’. Emergency response vehicles are 10’ wide, landscape pickup trucks are 8 feet wide and SUVs are 7’ feet wide. Consider what will happen every school day when children are dropped off at school. Traffic will stop on these two bridges and no emergency vehicles will be able to pass. This will happen every school day, twice a day even when there isn’t an emergency. Consider what will happen during any real emergency. The school is located near the San Andreas Fault. Two 30” high pressure gas mains are even closer. The fire department plans to close the fire house on Hillside near the Hoover School. Who will respond to emergencies at Hoover School? How will responders get to the school?
