Holiday Bears 1/23/22
BCSD’s Helping Hands thanks the many supporters of our Holiday Bears program at Berlin Elementary. This year we supported 45 families, making 116 local children very happy. We could not have done it without the commitment of our staff at BES, Our Lady of Snow of Grafton, Shelley Salon and Day Spa of East Greenbush, Greywacke Meadows and the donors from the Festival of Trees. A big thank you to the Stephentown Federated Church, Berlin Family Dollar, local families and supporters as well as the office of Rensselaer County. We look forward to continuing to work with all of you this year. – Helping Hands of BES
