Future Collaborations and Projects that we are working on:

The Foundation has developed a Faculty Advisory Team made up of Teachers from the District to serve as liaisons between the Foundation and the staff. The Advisory Team is tasked with creating awareness throughout the district teaching and profes-sional staff. In addition, the Advisory Team takes on events and fundraisers to pro-mote and give back to the Foundation. We are very excited to see this team grow in 2018 and look forward to seeing what they have in store for the Foundation. Team Co-Presidents are Rabecca Hester and Dana Kramaroff and we thank them for their enthusiasm.
Partnership with Ambler Savings Bank:
We are very excited about a new partnership that we are developing with Ambler Savings Bank. Watch in the summer of 2018, for an expansion of our Teachers in the Park Program to the Bally Community. As a result of this partnership we will be able offer this successful program to more students this summer. Last year we started the program at Boyertown Community Park and had over 35 students at-tend. This summer our intent is to expand that number and offer 2 locations for the program. We thank Ambler Savings Bank and Roger Zacharia, President/CEO for making this partnership possible. More information to come in 2018.
Building confidence in our students enabling them to succeed.
