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:

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)
