District schools benefit from grant

The Wells Fargo Foundation has named the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley as the recipient of a $25,000 grant to support the Leader in Me program in the Bethlehem Area School District. The fund programming for 1,000 students in kindergarten to grade five will be distributed to Calypso, Clearview and Governor Wolf elementary schools.

The Leader in Me process teaches leadership principles, creates a leadership culture and aligns academic systems which results in decreased absences, improved student behavior and ultimately increased academic achievement.
