NBPD Names Best of Berwyn, Seeks Volunteers to Build Park.

Congratulations to the North Berwyn Park District on the 10th anniversary of the Best of Berwyn program, celebrated at an awards dinner last week. Few events make you feel better about local education than the Best of Berwyn. The caliber of all the kids in the competition this year was inspiring and a video should soon be available on their Web site.

The #1 Best of Berwyn for 2011 is a young man named Weisner Perez whose brother was a #2 BoB last year. All three middle schools were pretty evenly represented (7-8 kids each from Freedom, Lincoln, Heritage) and 2 from St. Leonard’s. Many were like Weisner in that they had siblings that preceded them in the BoB, reinforcing what we already know: that family support makes a big difference.

North Berwyn Park District has plans to build a park at 19th and Cuyler in ONE day (June 4, 2011) with support from KaBOOM! and Disney. They are seeking 150 volunteers (no skills/tools needed). Please email info@berwyncares.org if you want to join a CARES team or contact the NBPD at (708) 749-4900.
