This year, we are proud to announce that we will be honoring Geri Rinschler with the BEF Legacy Award. Geri was chosen in recognition of her years of dedicated service to BPS, including serving as a school board member, BEF trustee and now a member of the character education steering committee. Join us as we celebrate Geri's years of service to our schools!
