Bedwell Friday Folder

June 21, 2013

Hello at home,

It's hard to believe that the 2012-2013 school year is behind us. If you're like me, you will look back with fond memories of another wonderful year at Bedwell.

I thank you all for the support and kindness you have shown me throughout the year, and I will see you all in September. Until then, savor the slower pace that summer offers - swim, read, draw, sing, play, create ... dare to dream!

Warm regards,

Gretchen Dempsey

Assistant Principal

SHEF- Somerset Hills Education Foundation

SHEF Enrichment Academy
PLANNING FOR SHEF'S FUTURE! The SHEF Trustees are thrilled to announce the establishment of THE SOMERSET HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION PETER J. MILLER ENDOWMENT FUND to honor Superintendent Pete Miller who is retiring on June 30, 2013 after serving the district admirably for 35 years. Establishing an endowment in the name of Pete Miller recognizes his many contributions, his values and his long term commitment to The Somerset Hills School District (SHSD). By establishing this fund the SHEF Trustees are planning for the foundation's future - honoring its long-term commitment to promote and provide education opportunities by funding innovative programs and projects for the benefit of the students of the SHSD. SHEF's goal is to raise $35,000 by June 30 in honor of Peter Miller's 35 years of dedication to the district. With leading gift contributions by SHEF Trustees already pledged, SHEF is looking forward to the support of the Endowment fund by parents, alumnus and community members who share our commitment to the students of the SHSD.
