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:

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.
