********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.

On March 25th at 9:30 a.m. in the Art Gallery, Liberty HS Psychology Club is hosting a visit from an alumnus from the Class of 1994, Sheetal Sheth. An acclaimed actress/producer, author, and activist, Sheetal Sheth has starred in over 20 feature films and many TV shows. She has won 5 best actress awards on the festival circuit. She began her career when few South Asians were making their living as actors.

She has represented brands such as CHI hair care and Reebok. She has delivered talks and keynotes, and has had op-eds published on CNN, The Daily Beast, and Thrive Global. She is one of the founders of the non profit 1001 Diverse Books. She served in President Clinton's Americorps and is currently on the advisory board of Equality Now. She is the author of the popular and award-winning Anjali children's book series, the first and only in this age group featuring an Indian American girl hero. If you are interested in purchasing "Always Anjali" and/or "Bravo Anjali," please email Dr. Lisa Draper at Liberty HS. Each book is discounted at $15. Sheetal Sheth will also sign your books for you if the order is received by 3/9.
