The Berkeley Heights Education Foundation Funds Gifts to the District

Promethean Boards, books among items donated.

As part of their continuing mission to enhance educational excellence in the Berkeley Heights School District in New Jersey, the Berkeley Heights Education Foundation annually awards funding for programs and technology in the district through our BHEF Grant Program.  

In addition to grants, the BHEF donates funds in the form of special gifts to the school district. Gifts and grants are made possible through funds raised from BHEF-sponsored events and direct donations.

During the 2010-2011 school year, the BHEF donated over $100,000 in gifts and grants to the Berkeley Heights School District. Much of this funding was donated in the form of special gifts which impacted a wide range of students and benefitted every public school throughout the district.

With these funds, the BHEF proudly supported the purchase of new technology, equipment and books, which included 14 Promethean Boards, Classroom library books at three elementary schools, and 190 literary lunch books at Columbia Middle School.

The BHEF also sponsored speaker Matt Bellace, a youth motivational speaker and author of “A Better High”. Mr. Bellace’s program, “How to Get High Naturally” focuses on making healthy choices and was presented to Governor Livingston students and later to parents in the district in April of 2011.
