This was in my inbox today and awakened an ocean of memories. I’m hopeful it may stir your thoughts and reflections about the educators that have impacted you and/or your children.

“IMAGINE…as we grow together” was a total success!  I write to extend my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the scores of current and former community members and friends of BFS that gathered on Friday night for a memorable evening of fun, friendship, food, and fundraising.  Due to the pandemic, we have been unable to gather […]
