#BuildingBethlehem
Congratulations to Liberty High School seniors Chris Giannaris, Lilyanna Nowak, and Tommy Forscht! As a requirement for Dr. Draper’s Honors Government and Economics class last spring, students prepared town hall essays that focused on the sustainability of Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley. Dr. Draper submitted the essays to the editors of the Sustainability Journal that promotes the voices of young people on vital community concerns. Chris wrote about the housing crisis in Bethlehem. Lilyanna wrote about the impact of plastic bag use in the Lehigh Valley. Tommy focused his essay on the need to educate about recycling and its impact on the environment.

********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.
