The CB Cares Educational Foundations is a group of dedicated community members, local businesses, and agencies who promote positive values, attitudes, and behaviors, especially in our young citizens. You can read more about their mission and their programs at www.cb-cares.org.

One such program is the Boomerang Youth Award. It was created in order to recognize Central Bucks students who choose embrace one of the 40 Developmental Assets. Each month, one asset is highlighted. Children who demonstrate that asset may be nominated for recognition at one of Linden's Spirit Assemblies. In addition, one child in the school is chosen to represent Linden at the district level. CB Cares then picks district-wide winners... one each at the elementary school, middle school, and secondary school levels.
