NEW this year, PEG is now part of Basalt Education Foundation and has a new name, School Liaison Committee (SLC). The SLC will continue with PEG priorities (teacher appreciation, school culture and belonging, extra funds for teachers and admin).

Please check out the Basalt Education Foundation (BEF) website to find out how you can help with different fundraising events. This foundation helps all three schools in the community.

The Basalt Education Foundation raises funds to enhance education in the Basalt public schools. Through the annual Taste of Basalt and the Roaring Fork Charity Classic golf tournament fundraisers, as well as generous corporate and community donations, BEF works directly with teachers and administrators to help the local elementary, middle and high schools deliver innovative, creative programming and experiences for every student.

Donations are Welcome!

It takes a community to build a great school, and you can help donate in various ways.

The BMS Makerspace The BMS Makerspace is ALWAYS looking for donations of everything from building toys like Legos, Zometools, and blocks to robotics sets to recyclable items like cardboard tubes and cool packing shapes.

Requests from Teachers Watch in the Enewsletters for these special requests. The BMS weekly enewsletter often posts donation need requests from teachers.

Compassion in the Classroom As part of our Habits of a Scholar compassion initiative, classes, student council, and Crews often hold fundraisers or donation requests for other organizations. Keep an eye out on Facebook or in the enewsletters for these opportunities to donate.
