Two BHF Staff and a community partner will travel to Denver to attend a conference and awards ceremony for the 2012 All America Cities Award. Each year, 10-12 communities from around the Country are honored with this prestigious accolade in areas ranging from community health to education. This year's award focuses on communities working together to improve 3rd grade reading scores for all students. After submitting a Letter of Intent in November, BHF was invited to collaborate with school districts and community partners to present a Community Solutions Action Plan in early spring for further consideration. In late may, BHF was notified that Wallowa County had been selected as 1 of 32 national finalists to attend the conference in Denver.
