Our Vision and Mission:
The Bemidji 31 Education Foundation Fund has a vision to enhance the educational experience of students in Bemidji Area Schools.
Our mission is to provide resources for classroom academic activities and create community partnerships in a lasting and sustainable effort.
Background:
Many other school districts in Minnesota have partner foundations or organizations whose purpose is to assist those districts in meeting their academic goals.
While Bemidji is blessed with many smaller groups full of people that do great work (PTO’s, booster clubs, student organizations, BEA, etc.) we do not have an organization that is equivalent to those of our peers.
With the help of Chris Lienen and the great folks at the Northwest Minnesota Foundation a small group has formed and was able to remodel an existing fund such that the process can begin to build one of these organizations. We have named our group the Bemidji 31 Education Foundation Fund.
