These programs include the Arts Literacy Initiatives at Twin Valley Middle School and Honey Brook Elementary Center as well as the Anthology of Community Author's program at Robeson Elementary Center. All of these programs are innovative and enrich the day to day curriculum for TVSD students. <br />
For those of you who do not know, the EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) Program is a state program that allows businesses to receive a tax credit by donating to qualifying Educational Improvement Organizations, which TVCEF is one of. This is a great program which connects PA businesses and schools. A big thank you goes out to National Penn Bank and Krapf Bus Company for their EITC donations to TVCEF.<br />

programs in the Bethlehem community to eliminate racism and empower women and
girls. She also worked on numerous fundraising events, such as a 5K race and
golf tournament. Just before coming to TVCEF, Lynn was working at the National
Defense University’s Capstone Program where she helped implement a federally
mandated program for newly appointed generals and flag officers to expand joint
professional military education. </span></div>
