It’s A G.A.S. (Great Artist Series) – The Great Artist Series is an innovative and unique way in which your children learn about the Great Artists of our time. Volunteers will visit a classroom each month and discuss the life and times of an artist and then sponsor an art project which related to the artist’s style or medium. Volunteers do not have to be art historians or even art literate. All the research is done for you and all the materials is supplied.
The Museum of Science Pass – Available at the Bedford Library. The Museum of Science Pass is good for up to 4 discounted exhibit hall admissions ($5 per person) per day. Regular price tickets range from $14-$17 per person.
Math Superstars – Math Superstars is an extracurricular math enrichment program which provides students with the opportunity to enhance their math skills.
