The Bellingham Public School Foundation (BPSF) hosts its 1st annual fundraising event, The Hungry Minds Breakfast, on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 from 7:15 – 8:45 at Shuksan Middle School.

The program, “Why Quality Education is Good Business”, features Dr. Greg Baker, Superintendent of Bellingham Public Schools, Dean Francisco Rios of WWU’s Woodring College of Education, and Tom Dorr, former director of the Center for Economic Vitality and expert on small business growth and management.

Dollars raised will be awarded to students, teachers, and the district through a grant application process next school year.
