As the 5th Anniversary of the Boston Marathon Terrorist Bombings approaches, The Boston Foundation has announced a partnership on behalf of the Campbell Family: The Krystle Campbell Community Betterment Project, which will join forces with The Medford Public Schools and Center for Citizenship and Social Responsibility. The purpose of this new partnership will be to identify and financially support student-driven projects each year that benefit the community and focus on helping others, reducing violence and encouraging an environment of peace, collaboration and friendship. As part of this new partnership, the students involved in the CCSR will propose and develop projects to spread Krystle’s enthusiasm for bringing people together and fostering community spirit. Medford Public Schools students from across grade levels will propose and create projects that focus on understanding and helping others, incorporating social-emotional learning, empathy, compassion and citizenship. The projects will lay the groundwork for reducing violence and encouraging an environment of peace, collaboration, and friendship. We believe that through this partnership, the student’s contributions and emphasis on community, we will continue to honor Krystle’s enthusiastic personality for years to come.
