Put Your BEST Foot Forward!
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, are moving on to new ventures as neither will have children in our elementary schools next year.  We will also 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! 

If you’re interested in learning more, please email info@bestforboxford.org or contact one of our board members directly.

Congratulations to the Murphy Family of Boxford, the winner of our 2008 Lap Top drawing! The Murphy FamilyMurphy's have generously donated the lap top back to the special education department in the elementary schools. B.E.S.T. would like to extend a special note of thanks to all of those who so contributed to the "Touched by Technology" campaign.

Thanks to you, we're almost there! We are thrilled to report that as of January 2008, we have raised close to $100,000!  But we still have almost $50,000 to go, so we need your help. Don't let our schools fall behind! Read More.

Please help by donating today! Remember that no donation is too small. The goal of this history-making gift is within reach! 
You can help keep our schools great!
