Forging History & Community in Bethlehem – 2018<\/b><\/p>\n

In an updated version from our 2016 video, field trips make the curriculum come alive for students. With the Foundation for the BASD’s support, the BASD is in the multi-year process of establishing curriculum-based field trips for each elementary grade (approximately 1,000 students per grade). The two-hour field trip titled, Forging History and Community in Bethlehem takes BASD 5th graders to the Steel Stacks Campus to reinforce class concepts related to our nation’s\/city’s industrial heritage as well as instill a new generation’s pride in their city. The interaction among the students, teachers, and organizations so closely associated with the past and present of the city will promote a “common bond” among diverse populations of Bethlehem.<\/p>\n

Eye on Elementary – Donegan Elementary<\/b><\/p>\n

The Bethlehem Area School District has 16 elementary schools, all in different locations, but all giving the same first-class education. Every few weeks we focus on a new school and take a minute to show you what makes the school the special place that it is.<\/p>\n

Today we take a look at Donegan Elementary with principal Sonia Vazquez.<\/p>\n

ArtsQuest is Accepting Nominations for the 2018 Awards<\/b><\/p>\n

Across our region, artists of all styles, mediums and genres are doing amazing things to educate students and enrich the community through the arts. If you have a family member or co-worker who\u2019s also a dynamic artist, or you happen to be neighbors with an arts teacher that students rave about, then the ArtsQuest Foundation invites you to nominate them for the Linny Awards, the multi-discipline arts awards designed to recognize the extraordinary contributions made by the region\u2019s artists, educators, businesses, volunteers and philanthropists.<\/p>\n

From now through May 14, nominations are being accepted, including the following categories:<\/p>\n

Arts Educator of the Year<\/p>\n

Philanthropy in the Arts Award<\/p>\n

Student Artist Scholarship Award<\/p>\n

Any individual, business or community group interested in nominating a person or business for the Linny Awards can do so at www.artsquestfoundation.org\/linnyawards. The Linnys are open to individuals and businesses living or working in Lehigh, Northampton, upper Bucks and upper Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania, as well as Warren County in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

WEEKLY NUTRITION and FITNESS TIPS<\/b><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Healthy Tip from Michelle Martucci, RD, LDN<\/b><\/p>\n

Dietician for Bethlehem Area School District<\/b><\/p>\n

Eat slowly and savor your food, and teach your children to do the same! It takes ~20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain you\u2019re full. So if you\u2019re eating too fast, by the time the brain gets the message you\u2019ve already overeaten!<\/p>\n
