BEF Teammates gathered at the Team Brookline kickoff meeting!

COLLEEN BOYLE

“This incredible foundation has helped and supported me as a teacher in Brookline for the past 19 years so it’s time for me to pay it back! The BEF goes above and beyond to support and encourage teachers in our life long learning journeys in order to be the best we can be for the students of Brookline Public Schools. I would not be the teacher I am today without the BEF and the opportunities I’ve been awarded over the years.”

ALLIE CHAPPELL

“I was drawn to Brookline by the very thing the BEF supports: the unwavering commitment to educational excellence. I have seen the vital role of the schools firsthand as an employee of the Public Schools of Brookline, and I believe the strength of a community is directly reflected in the quality of its classrooms.”

RYAN MCMANUS

“As an educator in Brookline I’ve seen the impact first hand with my students and colleagues. I couldn’t be more excited to run the marathon for my school and with the support of my community.“

ERIN MURDOCK

“Excellence in public education doesn’t just shape students—it strengthens communities. By empowering teachers with the tools and support they need to grow, the Brookline Education Foundation helps every student build the skills and confidence for a fulfilling life.“

TIMOTHY CHEZAR

“My two children are currently students at Pierce School and their teachers have been past recipients of grants awarded by the Brookline Education Foundation. I would like to do everything I can to ensure as many teachers as possible receive these grants to help them deliver the highest quality education possible to all students.”
