Thank You Fit for Life Leadership Team - #BASDProud
Thank you Gerrity's Valley Farm Market who has generously donated funds that will allow every Lincoln Elementary School student to obtain a new book from their Book Fair this year and next year. In celebration, Lincoln students gave Gerrity's CEO Joyce Fasula, better known as "Mom" and her son, Joe, who assists with the daily operation and administration of the company, a tour of the school. Thank you to Lincoln PTO's Megan Angelo Parker for working to secure a new community partner for Lincoln.

********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.
