BYFS Donations Needed

Bedford Youth and Family Services is looking for possible donations of any electronics such as Playstation, video games,
Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, karaoke machines, etc. If you have made any upgrades and are willing to donate
your old electronics to our department we could put them to great use for upcoming Friday night events for the middle
school students. Please contact Lesley McGovern at lmcgovern@town.bedford.ma.us if you have any questions or
would like to make a donation. Thank you!

The newly formed Bedford Education Foundation would like to thank all of our community supporters this year. With your help, the BEF raised over $20,000 to fund teacher grants in the Bedford Public Schools this past year. Utilizing the BEF grant application process, all Bedford Public School teachers were encouraged to identify projects that were creative and innovative. From the over fifty grant applications received, the BEF grant giving committee supported projects in all four Bedford Public Schools across a variety of curricula. The Middle School received the following items: replica bones for the social studies department that will help bring history alive, honoraria for an interactive Shakespeare performance and the Boston Lyric Opera, Body Sox for the theater department, supplies for the athletic, music, and foreign language departments, and funding for the anti-bullying initiative.
