What makes the BPSF mission meaningful to you? The BPSF mission is meaningful to me because I grew up in a low income family and I’ve experienced first-hand the significant, positive impact of quality public education.  I’m thrilled and honored to be able to play an active role in enhancing the same opportunities for students in the Brainerd Public School District
