SEPAC Marathon Run
B.F.F.E. Marathon Run for S.E.P.A.C.
|
The Braintree Fund for Education
(B.F.F.E.) is partnering with the Braintree Special Education Parent Advisory
Council (S.E.P.A.C.) to raise much needed funds in an effort to further the
mission of the SEPAC organization. The
Braintree SEPAC is a parent volunteer organization that works in collaboration
with the Braintree Public Schools on behalf of all students in the community
with developmental, physical, emotional and learning challenges. The SEPAC’s mission is to act as a resource
to parents of these students and advocates for children and families in
Braintree on an ongoing basis. There are
over 1,100 students in the community educated with the assistance of an Individualized
Education Plan or “I.E.P.”. The IEP
provides the supports and services necessary for students to be successful in
their school environment and to become active, productive members of the
community in their adulthood.
My name is Kristen Zechello and I am
a member of the Special Education Parent Advisory Council Board. I will be participating in the 118th
Boston Marathon on April 21, 2014 in an effort to raise funds as well as awareness
and acceptance of all students with challenges in Braintree. Your donation will assist our organization in
continuing to offer relevant workshops for parents and professionals, award a
scholarship annually to a special needs graduating senior and organize a
celebratory event each spring called the Community Inclusion Awards. This award is presented to members of our
community, perhaps a student, coach, employer, teacher, parent or community
member who fosters the ideals of inclusion of all. Please consider making a tax deductible
donation via the on-line fundraising site at:
You may also mail a check made payable to BFFE to:

Class Act!
One of our students was the recipient of the WHDH Channel Seven "Class Act" award. This award is given to a high school student that has made an impact in their community. Our student was chosen because, with the help of his mother, he has started a business called ACTabilities. ACTabilities is a business the provides jobs for young adults with intellectual disabilities. To learn more about it and their mission go to the website www.actabilities.com. If you would like to see the segment it will be airing tomorrow morning at 6:00 am and again on the 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. news hours. It will also be on the Channel Seven website.
