Bethel B-Mail,October 14, 2015, By Pat McGillivray
More than 200 community members filled the Fairfield gym for the BEF’s Breakfast at Bethel. They contributed $22,000 to the BEF.
Bethel kids are worth the investment. Generous donors from throughout the community recently came to breakfast and chipped in more than $22,000 to support the Bethel Education Foundation.
Now in its 6th year the BEF has provided 180 grants for engaging school or classroom opportunities in Bethel.
Kids have experienced field trips, special assemblies, new science equipment, a wider selection of novels, additional classroom technology, and other educational enhancements. The Breakfast at Bethel exposed donors to the wonderful and engaging learning going on in our schools, and folks were willing to provide more.
My thanks go out to the donors, the BEF, and its Executive Director Jennifer Jacobson for helping to make Bethel kids’ education even more special. And there is still time to donate, it is easy to do, just check this link for information.
