Hello everyone! On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Bedford Area Educational Foundation, I am pleased to report that our new Director and I were able to attend Bedford County's Teacher of the Year Awards Ceremony. This wonderful event was held on March 2 at Boonsboro Country Club.
The BAEF was able to honor each of the 22 Teachers of the Year with a $250 grant that may be used for classroom supplies. Did you know that teachers often spend over $750 per year out of their own pockets for classroom supplies? We were honored to be able to help offset these costs, thanks to the generosity of our donors.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank Ryan Edwards, the former Public Relations Coordinator for BCPS, for his years of service to our Board and the teachers and students of Bedford County. Ryan recently retired and we are so thankful for his efforts on our behalf. We send a big welcome to Kristen Borak, who will be representing BCPS on our Board.
It was also wonderful to be in the home of Board Member Sara Braaten and her husband, Bruce, for a Meet and Greet with BCPS Superintendent Dr. Marc Bergin. Our Board members enjoyed a nice gathering and presentation by Dr. Bergin. We are grateful to Sara and Bruce for having us in their lovely home and Dr. Bergin for his remarks and spirit of collaboration.
In closing, you all may know that our annual corporate sponsor drive is currently underway. If you are a business owner who would like to make a donation to support the grants we award our teachers and students, please reach out to our Director or visit the link I have shared. Thank you!
Have a wonderful summer!
Debbie
