During Saturday’s ceremony to dedicate the Miss G field and its new scoreboard, Mike Rosenberg recalled the legendary Miss G, Helen Gfroerer, who touched the lives of several generations of Bedford students. “She was remarkable because of what she did with so little,” said Rosenberg. “There were no fields when the school opened in 1955, and the gym wasn’t finished until the first day of school.”

At their June 4 meeting, the Bedford School Committee looked back on the performance of district goals over 2018-2019, as well as looking forward to projects to be initiated as soon as summer break begins.
Committee members considered just how effectively their goals were instituted in classrooms this past year, complete with summarized reports from grades K-12. Superintendent Jon Sills gave a letter grade for the outputs and outcomes of each. The review sampled the standardized test scores, class analytics, and the end work of specialized programs.
