Last week 23 Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School students received their Professional Skills Certification! Our Professional Skills Program is designed to teach our students the soft skills employers are looking for. All 23 Students have spent multiple weeks learning these skills and are now guaranteed to be high quality employees in whichever field they enter! We are of all of their hard work.

Thank you to Northampton Community College and instructors Anita and Peg for making this program possible for our students. Also a huge thank you to our EITC donors, UGI Utilities, Inc., Embassy Bank For the Lehigh Valley, and American Bank whose donations make it possible for the Foundation to fund this program at no cost to our students.

Join us tonight at Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School for a Trunk or Treat Food Truck Tuesday! 🎃🍭👻🍬✨

Tomorrow, NTHS and Hope for Hearts are hosting a Trunk or Treat here at BAVTS alongside the Food Truck event from 4-7pm. There are two ways you could help support this event if interested:

🍭) Register to decorate your car/trunk and hand out candy/treats. It's free to register, you would just need to provide your own candy/treats. There is a contest for best trunk with 3 grand prizes for the winners. Use this link to register if interested: https://forms.gle/UdnKPMfPycSwy8w77

👻) Or you can just bring your kids, grandkids, etc. to come and be our trunk-or-treaters! It's $5 per treater which includes a trunk or treating bag, the candy and treats collected, and an entry into several raffle prize drawings.

And of course, grab dinner while you're here at the Food Truck event where any kid in a costume receives a free slushy!!
