Welcome back! We'd like to thank you for volunteering for B.E.S.T. last year. We appreciate your time, dedication and support and congratulate you on helping us achieve the Touched by Technology goals.
Our annual committee kick-off meeting will be on Wednesday, October 22nd at 9:30 AM, Cole School. We’re hopeful you can attend.
As you know, B.E.S.T. has continued to address the very real challenge of maintaining excellence in our schools in the face of changing financial climates and this year will be no different. We look forward to meeting you at the upcoming meeting and more importantly, we welcome your ideas and thoughts on how we can continue to be the very B.E.S.T. at fulfilling our mission.

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!
