Beaverton Education Foundation is proud to continue our long-standing partnerships with the Juan Young Trust, Genentech and NW Natural.
BEF is grateful to the Juan Young Trust for supporting BEF’s PE & Play Initiative with a $50,000 award. Funds will be used on the third phase of this multi-year initiative, to further refresh and upgrade PE equipment at middle schools across the district. Working with district partners, we are currently identifying high priority needs and cost effective strategies to ensure students can use the new PE equipment in the new year.
An early supporter of BEF’s Building STEAM 4 All Initiative, Genentech’s $40,000 grant will continue their generous support of innovative classroom projects in science, technology, engineering, arts and math. Funding will also go toward biomedical pathways programs and health literacy activities in our schools.
NW Natural’s $5,000 contribution will go toward funding for the Safe and Sound for Student Success (S4) after school program for middle schoolers. The S4 program combines academic support with extracurricular activities. Program participants’ strengthen school connections and deliver increased academic achievements far into high school.
