School Supplies for 2025–2026:
Families can order school supplies online now through June 13th to receive free shipping. The online school supplies store will officially close on June 27th.

Davis Supply Kits (Kindergarten-2nd Grade): https://www.write-stuff.com/storefront/school/daviselementary

JGMS (6th-8th Grade): https://www.write-stuff.com/storefront/school/jgms

***JGMS has not finalized their plan so their store is not active.

We will also provide grade-level supply lists for families who prefer to shop on their own.

End-of-Year Student Gift Options:
Looking for a fun way to celebrate your student? We have a limited supply of Bedford tie-dye shirts (available in select sizes, first come first serve), Bedford baseball caps, and both stainless steel and Nalgene water bottles. These make great end-of-year keepsakes! Reach out to the BEST PTO if you’re interested in picking some up for your student.

Reminder on Staff Gift Giving Guidelines:
As we think about ways to thank our wonderful teachers and staff, please keep in mind the state’s ethical guidelines for gift giving:
https://www.mass.gov/info-details/gifts-to-public-school-teachers-and-staff

If you have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out to Aditi Sharma or the BEST PTO.

Here are a few thoughtful (and guideline-friendly!) ideas for year-end appreciation:

Email the principal to highlight your teacher’s great work
Have students write short notes about their favorite part of the school year
Organize a group lunch or dinner delivery
Contribute to a class gift card (if your budget allows)

Stay Connected Over the Summer:
To ensure you receive important updates from the BEST PTO over the summer and into the new school year, please:

Confirm your contact information is up to date on Membership Toolkit (www.bestpto.org)
When class assignments are released in August, log in to update your student and family information

The BEST PTO will continue to send communications via Membership Toolkit and Facebook, so staying connected is key!

Coming Soon: Summer Family Resource Guide
We’re also excited to share that the BEST PTO is putting together a local resource guide to help families discover area recommendations and community events that will be running throughout the summer. Stay tuned!

Once again, thank you for everything you've done to support your classrooms and school this year. We wish you and your families a relaxing and fun summer!

Warm regards,
The BEST PTO
