It was an early case of "March Madness" at Governor Livingston High School, as the 13th ANNUAL ALL-STAR FACULTY BASKETBALL GAME rocked a sold-out crowd on Thursday, March 11, 2010.

Student dancers, prize drawings, and an unprecedented double-overtime game highlighted this fundraiser for the programs of the BHEF.

IT'S ON!

Students at Woodruff and Huighes Elementary Schools in Berkeley Heights got a special treat this January: a special workshop in African Drumming and Dance, courtesy of the BHEF!

5th grade students at Hughes and Woodruff Schools participated in an African dance workshop, complementing an integrated unit of study in world drumming music and art classes.

The Berkeley Heights Education Foundation is pleased and proud to announce grants totaling $35,846 to support programs across all of the schools in Berkeley Heights. These grants would not be possible without generous donations from individuals and businesses in our community!

A complete listing of the grants can be found at our website.

The BHEF wishes everyone a Happy New Year! In 2010, the BHEF will present a series of new and established programs benefiting the Berkeley Heights and Mountainside communities:

Thanks to a generous donation from Alcatel-Lucent, the BHEF's Literary Lunches program returns for the 2009-10 school year.

This intergenerational book club brings local senior citizens and seventh & eighth-graders together to share insights about the literature they've read while enjoying lunch.

It's that time of year again...

School starts for all students in Berkeley Heights on Tuesday, September 8, 2009.

And the BHEF is proud to begin another year as a partner with our schools, encouraging innovative programs and supporting our community's involvement in our children's education.

We have many exciting events planned for the coming school year...
