“Bea Smith Legacy” Welcome Kits Delivered to New BUSD Educators

As part of our ongoing commitment to support educators, the San Gorgonio Education Foundation proudly distributed 30 Bea Smith Legacy Welcome Kits to new teachers and staff at Banning High School. Each kit was thoughtfully assembled to provide essential classroom supplies and a warm introduction to the BUSD community. This initiative honors Bea Smith’s legacy of service and continues our mission to uplift those shaping the future of our students.
