Current Projects

Following is a list of current Foundation projects:


One Book-One School

The BEF has awarded its most recent major grant to Center Elementary School for the "One School-One Book" program. This literacy initiative is designed to bring the entire school community together around a single text. Center School will use several different cultural versions of "Cinderella" in a blended curriculum to increase awareness of diverse cultural expressions of a single story.


Robotics Training Platform Program

The BEF is pleased to announce that a major grant has been awarded for the "Robotics Training Platform" program. This project, open to all 13 to 18 year-old students in Brookfield and the surrounding communities, will allow young adults to create a usable robotics training platform, fostering interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.


Career Counseling Enhanced at Whisconier Middle School

A major grant has been awarded for the funding of the MMTIC-Myers-Brigg Type Indicator for students. This program will be implemented to all 8th graders at Whisconier and will assist students, teachers, and parents in academic and career planning.


Mind Sharpener Program

The BEF has provided funding to the Brookfield Senior Center for the Mind Sharpener Program; a cognitive fitness series which aims to improve short-term memory, new learning, visual-motor coordination, cognitive flexibility, and attention. The major grant allows for the provision of all necessary materials, as well as unlimited instructor training.
