Cranford Cares for Kids was founded in
1993 by people who care about others and
wanted to lend a financial helping hand
when it is needed most.
They are also people who felt the last
thing a parent with a'sick child needs to
worry about is being able to afford the
treatment their child desperately needs.
The^reason-fehey-runderstood-istbecausey had been there themselves.;
Donations to Cranford Cares for^Kids are
used to help pay the non-reimbursed medical and medical-related costs of treating
children who are 18 or under and have a
prolonged illness.
These costs include (but are hot limited
to) hospital and doctor bills; equipment
such as wheelchairs and hospital beds;

was one of only three
statewide to receive a grant
to participate in the STEM
(Savings Through Energy
Management) . program,
which provides training to a
group of 1 lth grade science
students in conducting an
energy audit. The audit will
be performed at School,
though the skills can also be
put to use at home. As the
upper class students involved
will train younger students to
perform the audit, the program will be self-sustaining.
The Future and the Past
Provide Roots and Wings
for MBS
The
future
of the
Morristown-Beard School is
filled with all of the exciting
possibilities of the upcoming
new century. The everexpanding
Fine and
Performing
Arts
Departments continue to
strengthen and encourage
students' creative forces; the
Dance program is alive and
thriving. Students participate
in debates and forums on
current issues, travel with
exchange programs to foreign countries, and meet
with local through government officials in small-group
situations, bringing education to life in a very real and
practical way. As always,
though, the primary focus of
Morristown-Beard School
remains the student. That's
why 100% of our most
recent graduating class was
accepted at colleges and universities around the country,
and around the world. The
tradition of excellence begun
in 1891 by two separate
schools who ultimately
shared the same vision continues to flourish in the
Morristown community.
