B.E.S.T. Summer Kick-Off Celebration


June 12, 2024

Last Week over 250 B.E.S.T. current, newly enrolled and college-aged Alumni families gathered at The Odyssey School to celebrate the end of the school year and beginning of summer break at our Kick-Off to Summer Celebration. For our newest members of the B.E.S.T. community, this was a wonderful opportunity to get to know current families and make connections before starting at their new Member School this Fall.

With picture perfect weather, families brought blankets and chairs for a picnic-style dinner on the lawn. While enjoying festive music by DJ DPTJR, kids and parents alike played lawn games including giant Jenga, Connect Four, cornhole and volleyball, enjoyed face painting and snacked on shaved ice and pretzel bites provided by Kona Ice and Auntie Anne’s.

Thank you to Head of School Marty Sweeney for providing the perfect venue for our celebration and to our fantastic vendors who provided delicious treats throughout the evening.

Karlo Young, B.E.S.T. Board President, shared remarks celebrating our college-aged Alumni and encouraging families to maximize the power of the B.E.S.T. network. This evening remains an annual favorite and one of the many ways B.E.S.T. builds community and connection. Wishing everyone the B.E.S.T. summer!
