Touched by Technology |
In 2006, B.E.S.T. launched it's Touched by Technology capital campaign to infuse technology in Boxford’s elementary schools. We are thrilled to report that we reached our goal of raising $180,000! The installation of the remaining permanent SMARTBoard technology began over the summer and will be completed this fall. Thank you for your support!

| Put Your BEST Foot Forward! |
We were so busy with the Capital Campaign/SMART Boards, we didn't do as good a job in planning for the future ...Cole parents... the future is yours ... we need you to put your best for forward or you'll risk loosing a major resource for funding for improving your children's education.
We are seeking new leadership for B.E.S.T. for the 2008/2009 academic school year. Our co-presidents, Kathy Tyler and Diana Merriam, have moved on to new ventures along with their children. We will have board positions opening over the next couple of years. A strong foundation is in place for new volunteers to step in to maintain existing programs or create new programs to sustain the vital funding B.E.S.T. provides for curriculum enrichment in our Schools. Perhaps you have a special talent that you would like to share or a particular fundraiser that interests you such as our Annual Homes Tour, Winter Drive or Homeowner’s Resource Directory? No amount of time is too little and the rewards are the BEST!
