ACT-SO
The 2012 ACT-SO Program held at Liberty High School, January 19th, was a wonderful success!
ACT-SO includes 26 categories of competition in the sciences, humanities, business, and performing and visual arts. More than 260,000 young people have participated from the program since its inception.
The NAACP’s Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics is a yearlong achievement program designed to recruit, stimulate, and encourage high academic and cultural achievement among African-American high school students. Bethlehem is in its 4th year of involvement with the ACT-SO program.
The Bethlehem NAACP ACT-SO competition included students from Liberty and Freedom High Schools in over 10 of the 26 categories.
From Mathematics to Entrepreneurship, the evening’s contestants showed great skill, knowledge, energy and musical harmony.
Winners for the year 2012 will be listed soon, so, check back. They will also be recognized at the Bethlehem NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet to be held February 20th.

RE-ENTRY PROGRAM FOR INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS posted 2011-9-03
We have watched as more and more African American individuals are incarcerated. The system seems content on budgeting more money to house these folks rather than rehabilitate them. The system should be seeking ways to provide more training, on a larger scale to prevent recidivism.
