I'd like to recognize and thank the members of the Brunswick Community Education Foundation (BCEF) for their ongoing support. The BCEF provide grants to BSD staff at all levels. The grants are unique and benefit all of our students. When asked why they do what they do here's what the board members said: Cheryl Crocket: I’ve always valued and appreciated the support parents and parent groups have given me. This is my way of giving back. Vladimir Douhovnikoff - Brunswick has such creative and motivated teachers. Providing resources to help their ideas bloom is a privilege and as rewarding as watering a garden of flowers. Eric Foushee - I am honored to be part of the BCEF Board and to be able to give back to the community and directly support Brunswick schools. I see the impact all of the teachers, coaches, and staff has on my children. Katie Livesay - Supporting our Brunswick educators and their efforts to connect with our children through books, speakers, and activities has been incredibly rewarding. Thanks to the ongoing support of BCEF we have the opportunity to help expand the horizons of what’s possible for our school-aged children. Susan Olcott - Talking with teachers about exciting ideas and helping those ideas to become real funded projects in their classrooms is why I love being part of BCEF. The creativity that these grants foster is amazing. Tim Swan - I'm happy to be a member of the BCEF team because my children have been given an extremely high-quality education, due to the dedication of Brunswick's teachers and school staff, and I want to ensure that teachers always have support for new creative programs. Tracy Whitlock - As a parent and a former educator, I understand the vital work that teachers engage in every day to support their learners. I serve on the board of BCEF to show my support and admiration for the creative and innovative ideas of Brunswick's PreK-12 teachers. Becky Wilkoff - We are fortunate to be in a school district filled with incredibly dedicated and talented educators as well as a community that generously supports our schools.
