Jacquelyn was approved for a $250 grant to build an art gallery at the school.

"My project is to build a mini-art gallery that will support our school by allowing students to use it for their art. It will allow people to express themselves through their art and allow them to display it anonymously, without the fear of their art being degraded and disliked by others."

Max was approved for a $450 grant to cater the Veterans Coffee Hour three times, and donate 3 bricks to the Veterans' Memorial Walkway.

"My Capstone Project is important because it highlights how important it is to care for our veterans in various ways. My project will have a positive impact on the community because it will show respect for our veterans by keeping their memorial clean, and hopefully, my visits will bring them joy and encourage others to do the same. My project will benefit the veterans because my regular visits and care of the memorial will let them know that they are important and cared for. I will benefit from completing this by being happy that I have given my time to help others."

Julia was approved for a $250 grant to buy supplies to make care bags.

"I want to raise money by doing a car wash to be able to make 'Care Bags' and donate them to the hospital. Students and Faculty who go to BFCCPS may end up going to Milford Hospital when they need care.  I would like to purchase the supplies for my Care Bags, including the bags, coloring books, crayons, cards, fidgets, etc." 

Holly Oelkers & Jessica Kelleher were approved for a $250 grant to purchase dirt for their spring Garden Club.

"Please come check out our greenhouse and beds! We also have an indoor/outdoor Pumpkin Jack experiment currently running. It is our hope in the spring to have a sign up like the outdoor classroom where teachers can bring students to participate in monthly garden projects. The only way that we can provide this service to the school is if we have the soil to support it."

Stephanie Sidebottom was approved for a $750 grant towards a 5th-grade field trip to the McAuliffe Center.

"The fifth-grade team would like to take a field trip to Framingham State University's Christa McAuliffe Challenger Learning Center. The program offers immersive space mission simulations, providing students with hands-on STEM education experiences that foster teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. This directly connects to the school's vision statement which supports vibrant learning communities, resourcefulness, and confidence."

Robert Perry was approved for a $999 grant towards a Pearl EM1 Mallet Station.

"The addition of the mallet station will support two virtues: Fortitude and Temperance. Each student that uses the mallet station will have to demonstrate a level of fortitude when operating it. Students need to switch from one instrument sound to the next within the same piece, on their own. Knowing when to do this will require courage, determination and timing. They will also need to show a level of Temperance when controlling the sounds. Impulse control is important. Students will learn when to change the sounds and demonstrate patience as to not change the instrument sound early (or late)."
