Partner in Education - Betz Elementary
Betz Elementary currently has roughly 300 students and 57 staff members made up of educators, administrators, and facility. We are currently working closely with the administration at the school to partner with them and help meet some needs of the staff, students, and families in the Olde Towne neighborhood.
