Thank you to the Bedford community who supported the Barnes & Noble Book Fair sponsored by the BEF, BHSPA, MSPA and BEST on December 13th & 14th.

We also thank the many performers from our schools who made the Book Fair so special — the Grade 2 readers, BEF BHS Board members who worked with the Grade 2 students, Davis School Principal Nancy Peterson and Lane School Principal Rob Ackerman who held Story Time, Katherine Parker who directed the Lane Student Chorus and the Combined Davis and Lane Teachers & Staff Chorus, the Bedford High School String Quartet and Santa Bob.

We’d like to share a note from Rob Ackerman about the success of a project we funded at Lane School.

Evernote is a suite of software and services designed for notetaking and archiving.  A “note” can be a piece of formatted text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten “ink” note. Notes can also have file attachments. Notes can be sorted into folders, then tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, searched and exported as part of a notebook.

A big thank you to the Bedford Public School staff for all of the hard work you do for our students! We have welcomed each teacher and administrator back to school with Bedford Education Foundation mugs and our new brochure.
