UPCOMING EVENTS
August 28: Dine to Donate at MOD Pizza in support of 4th grade classrooms August 29: BEF Board meeting at Moonraker at 6:00 p.m. WHAT WE FUND BEF supports a variety of projects, including classroom and enrichment supplies as well as facilities improvements that directly enhance students’ learning. Classroom projects give teachers the opportunity to offer a richer learning experience and would not be available without the foundation's support. The types of classroom improvements we have funded in past years include a stage and backdrops for theatrical and music performances, overhead LCD projectors, voice amp systems and SMART boards® for every classroom, flex seating, computer mice, musical instruments, library books, and ceramics supplies. We’ve also funded online curriculum programs to help students build 21st century skills and improvement projects to enhance students’ experience in larger-group settings outside the classroom. |
BIG DAY OF GIVING UPDATE
BEF's Big Day of Giving annual online fundraiser takes place the first Thursday in May. With your help we raised over $9,000 in 2024, which will help to support hundreds of library books, scholarships for field trips, and more. In 2023, we raised $13,000, some of which went towards sending 1/3 of our school's teachers to an amazing weeklong Responsive Classroom training/retreat. In 2022, we raised $9,000 and used the funds to purchase over 400 new books for the school library and also to build an amazing Outdoor Pavillion gathering and dining/social space, which is used by most students every day. We are starting on plans for the 2025 Big Day of Giving fundraiser, which will include a big focus on fundraising to improve the sound quality in the Big Gym. You can donate any time of year - no need to wait until next May to donate.
