Thanks to Serpentini Chevrolet of Strongsville and the Chevy Network, The Education Foundation is ready to kick off our fourth annual Chevy Cruze car raffle fundraiser!

BCSD and community groups are invited to participate in the fundraiser by selling tickets to win a brand new 2018 Silver Chevy Cruze. Groups keep 50% of their ticket sales to be used for the benefit of students in our district. 

Representatives from interested groups should attend an info meeting to find out details and collect ticket packets. The meetings will be held on:

• August 8, 6 PM at the BCSD Administration Building, 390 Fair St. Berea
• August 14, 6 PM at BMMS, 7000 Paula Dr. Middleburg Hts. 

​Tickets are only $10 (for a new car!!!) and may be purchased from any participating group or online starting August 8. Our drawing will be held at the final BMHS Varsity Football home game on October 19, 2018. The winner does not need to be present to win.

Contact Andi at awhitaker@berea.k12.oh.us for more information.

Elected to the Berea City School Board in November 2015, Cori Farris joins The Education Foundation this year as the School Board appointee. 

​A resident of Middleburg Heights for over 20 years, her history of volunteer and public service is a demonstration of her commitment to community.  She has been a member of boards of our district’s PTAs, the Middleburg Heights Food Pantry and also served eight years as a member of the Middleburg Heights Planning Commission. 

​She currently is the Treasurer of the Friends of the Middleburg Heights Library, a role she has held for over 10 years.  She is proud of her job as a school board member, including her involvement with the passage of Issue 107, our $112.5 million bond issue that will bring to life our district’s facilities plan.

“This is a very exciting time for our district.  We have so much to be proud of, and so many wonderful things ahead.  I believe our district is the success it is very much because of the commitment of the Education Foundation.  I am proud to serve as a Trustee of this vital partner in education for the children of the Berea City School District.”

Thank you to the Berea City Club for providing an extra 10 scholarships this year, in addition to their two annual scholarships! This year the Foundation provided a record number of scholarships to BCSD seniors!

Friends and family of SueAnn Thayer Kratzer have generously established a new scholarship to be awarded yearly at Berea-Midpark High School.

SueAnn graduated from Berea High School in 1973. She was very involved in swimming, was an Aquateen at Berea High School, taught swim lessons and lifeguarded in the community.  She had a successful career in the garment business, first as a buyer at May Company, Gold Circle, Bullocks, and Millers Outpost, then transitioned to sales and later became Vice President of Sales for RAJ SWIMWEAR.  SueAnn was fiercely loyal and developed an extensive circle of close friends from grade school through college.

The new SueAnn Thayer Kratzer Memorial Scholarship will be awarded for the first time in May 2019 to a BMHS graduating senior member of the swim team. For more criteria or to donate to the SueAnn Thayer Kratzer Memorial Scholarship fund, please click here.
