BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The Bakersfield City School District Education Foundation received a $10,000 check from AERA Energy on Wednesday.

The BCSD Education Foundation is a charitable, non-profit organization aimed at directly impacting the lives of children through innovative educational programs.

“We’re really excited because Aera (Energy) was able to donate a check for our educational foundation partner. It’s an organization that promotes innovative programs and activities for our teachers to be able to have in their classrooms,” said Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, Laura Orozco. “Teachers are able to apply for these funds so they can create innovative ideas, they can have lessons, whether in science, maybe a garden. It’s anything a teacher feels is innovative.”
