MARGARET BEEKS ELEMENTARY EVENTS/ACTIVITIES*
Fall Community Event – The Fall Community event is a fun night for families! This event typically happens in September or October, and is a great way to bring together Beeks families to get to know one another.
Taste of Countries International Night – International Night will celebrate the diverse cultures found in countries throughout the world as well as in our school. Families and community members have an opportunity to share cuisine from their heritage at International Night. Join the Beeks community for a Taste of the Countries! Our taste buds will travel through international samplings as we get to know our fellow Beeks families.
Read-A-Thon Fundraiser – This is our largest fundraiser of the year where students track how much they read, ask friends and family to sponsor their efforts with donations, and get the chance to win fun prizes, including gift cards, treats, classroom parties or an opportunity to be principal for a day!
One Book One School – Each family will be given a book that will be read throughout the week at school and at home. At the end of the reading there will be an evening celebration.
Visiting Author – Every year the PTO selects an author or illustrator to spend a day at the elementary school. The PTO will arrange for families to pre-purchase books from the author/illustrator and have the copies autographed. This is not a fundraiser for the school.
Teacher Appreciation Week - While there are many ways we will be celebrating the teachers, one tradition in particular is a favorite of both the children and the teachers. We have a week of activities planned including bringing a homemade gift to your teacher and daily raffles for teachers and staff to win. The PTO organizes events during this week for the staff as well. Each classroom Room Parent will also organize a gift with the parents and students to give to the teacher.
Beeks Book Buffet – Students are invited to breakfast at Beeks cafeteria the third Thursday of each month. Students get to leave with a gently used book of their choice.
Dine-to-Donate Restaurant Nights – Join other Beeks families for a meal at a local restaurant. Participating restaurants also donate a portion of the proceeds to Beeks PTO.
