Recently established, the Belchertown Education Foundation, Inc. is an independent, non-profit organization committed to enriching the educational opportunities of students in Belchertown public schools. By garnering broad community support for programs that stimulate and nurture the whole child, including academic, creative and athletic pursuits, the BEF seeks to optimize the educational experience of Belchertown students now and in the future.

Four diverse projects have been funded, including an after school cooking program, a collaboration project funding a new instrument, a garden project, and contemporary classroom design to inspire critical thinking and problem-solving. These projects will soon impact hundreds of students at various grade levels in Belchertown Public Schools. “On behalf of the Belchertown Education Foundation Board of Directors, I share my gratitude to the donors who helped fund the Foundation’s first grants and convey my congratulations to our first grant recipients,” says Lesley Mugford, MD, President of the Belchertown Education foundation Board of Directors.
