BVIU Retiree Stays Active

Home

Joseph L. Rubino joins the BCET board of trustees after a career of 40 years in education, with his last employment at the BVIU. Mr. Rubino wanted to continue his support of teachers and students of Beaver County after retiring and saw the board position as an opportunity to do just that. His favorite BCET program is the Great Idea Mini-Grant. His team received a grant for the "Brain Steps" program his team at the IU created on concussions a few years back. The award left an impression on Joe and so he was eager to help when asked by the BCET.

Back To School – Special Projects

GreatIdeasGrant, Home

The BCET gives out Great Idea Mini-Grants to the teachers of Beaver County every year to the tune of around $25,000. However, funds are limited and sometimes teachers need a little bit more than the BCET can award. With the new school year under way, Donors Choose.org is a great way for the public to help fund Beaver County teachers' projects directly. Please consider supporting Beaver County teachers, who have requests for help, at the following link. https://www.donorschoose.org/donors/search.html?state=PA&countyName=Beavercounty&includeNearbyLocations=true
