What makes the BPSF mission meaningful to you? Everyone wants to help and make a difference in education in our community.   BPSF gives everyone the chance to do so.  As a donor, as a participant in our fund raising and events, as a committee member or in other service in continually evolving forms.   BPSF supports innovative, outside-the-box teaching, instruction and experiences for learners and provides direct support to students in the form of scholarships.   From pre-k to college, the energy and support of BPSF reflects our community as a whole.
