********The Foundation for the Bethlehem Area School District*******
Formerly known as the Bethlehem Area Education Foundation (BAEF), The Foundation for the Bethlehem Area School District began in March of 1999, after a one-year feasibility study. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of members of the community working in concert with, but independent of the Bethlehem Area School District. To move the Foundation forward, the Board of Trustees amended the bylaws to include paid employees and hired a part-time Executive Director in the fall of 2014. Over the years, the foundation has worked closely with school district administrators to prepare programs and opportunities for funding that will support rigor, relevance and innovation in classrooms throughout the district.
Everyone is invited! Join us in celebrating 24 years of supporting students of the Bethlehem Area School District! The BASD Celebration Dinner will take place March 21, 2023 at the new Wind Creek Bethlehem Convention Center.
