Our second literacy night was a big hit! We got to learn some great activities to help our newest tigers feel prepared for kindergarten! @basdjacksilva@BASD_TheFARM
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro visited a Lehigh Valley school Monday to argue for expanding stipends for student teachers — one way he hopes to chip away at a shortage of educators statewide.

We created student teacher stipends to help aspiring educators stay afloat while they complete mandatory training.
The student teachers I’ve talked to — including the ones at Farmersville Elementary today — can speak to the difference that it’s made in their lives.
My budget doubles the investment in these stipends, providing more funding to cover even more student teachers and help them make a difference in the classroom.
It’s always a good day when I get the chance to get back into a classroom to teach a lesson. I had the opportunity to teach a fifth grade reading group about generating questions about text. @BethlehemAreaSD
Thank you for visiting, @GovernorShapiro! We appreciate your hard work in expanding Student Teacher Stipends in support of the highest quality, diverse workforce for @BethlehemAreaSD schools. Come back anytime! #BASDcommunity
We’re facing a real teacher shortage here in PA — but this is a problem that, together, we can solve.
Join me at Farmersville Elementary in Northampton County as I share my plan to deliver student teacher stipends and fill staffing gaps in our schools: https://t.co/SBQlDyFZOW
