On February 5, 2009 some 40 Board Members, Directors and extended day staff gathered for a pot-luck supper.
The meeting was kicked off by Dr. William Lupini, Brookline's Superintendant of Schools. He updated the group on the Town's financial situation and likely impacts on the programs created by the continued large enrollment in the incoming Kindergarten population. He assured the group that collaboration with the schools would continue and he would do everything he could to support our programs' needs.
The meeting continued with break-out sessions on the following topics:
Programming for grades 5 and up: what works, what doesn’t
Raising the bar on fundraising: moving from bake sales to grants
