Description

Press release from Belmont Public Schools: May 20, 2022 It's our High School seniors last day of school! Come June, our seniors will graduate, our 8th graders will move up, and all our Belmont Public School students will finish a school year that saw us get closer to 'back to normal'. Thank your child's teacher, or other special staff member, by honoring them with a STAR Award from the Foundation for Belmont Education. With a donation of $25 for each award (or $100 for 5 awards) to the Foundation for Belmont Education, your honored recipient will receive a personalized certificate with the name of the donor and an optional personal message. For members of the community who you wish to thank for their service to our community, the FBE offers You're A Star Community Awards. Previous recipient examples include police officers, crossing guards, coaches, and volunteers, but the recipient options are endless, and may include family, friends, or neighbors, etc. They are a wonderful way to say Thank You to someone special. This academic year the FBE has awarded 10+ grants for programs in the Belmont Public Schools, including Math Manipulatives, Model DNA and RNA kits, resources for Mental Health Literacy in 8th Grade, and sending representatives from BHS to the Computer Science Teachers Association Annual Conference. Despite our need to rethink our fundraising events yet again as we adapted to living with Covid, Belmont has been there to support us. Thank you for helping us raise funds to continue to support our teachers and students. The Foundation for Belmont Education (FBE) is an independent, non-profit organization run by volunteers who are dedicated to improving educational opportunities for Belmont's students and teachers. The FBE funds grants to educators in the Belmont Public Schools to implement innovative programs and advanced technology that result in richer and deeper learning experiences for BPS students - from small grants that benefit a single classroom to large programs designed to benefit students in an entire grade, school, or district wide. Grants are awarded in all school curriculum areas and for special initiatives and professional development.
