Beam of Light Recognition Program
Send a "Beam of Light" to honor a Teacher, Counselor, Nurse, Secretary, Para Professional, Custodian, Bus Driver, Administrator, Coach or School Volunteer. A "Beam of Light" certificate is a unique way to recognize a special person, mark an occasion or convey a holiday greeting. Memorial certificates provide a meaningful tribute to recognize a special person who has passed.

By making a tax-deductible donation (minimum of $10.00) to the Education Foundation of South Brunswick, we will send your honoree a beautiful Beam of Light certificate with your name and brief personal message.
