City of Beaverton helps grow BEF after-school programming

After school programs build stronger connections at school among students, teachers and families. Thanks to a social services grant from the City of Beaverton, BEF will be expanding after-school programming for English Language Learners in Beaverton elementary schools.

It All Adds Up!

BEF and the KLA Foundation are working together to boost K-3 math achievement among Beaverton students. The KLA Foundation recently awarded BEF a three-year grant of $150,000 to support best practices that help students get a good start in math. With KLA Foundation's support, and working with the Beaverton School District, we will engage cohorts of Title I elementary schools that will get additional professional development for teachers, "math-rich" classroom environments, before or after school math help, and at-home and/or family engagement activities - all related to math.
