The BES community worked together to support our local food pantries by hosting a food drive organized by the Berlin School Spirit Committee.  Twelve boxes of food were collected and sent out to the local food pantries including Berlin, Grafton and Stephentown.  Many thanks to the students, families, teachers and community members who supported our food drive.
