Purpose / Pumpkinfest / Hot Lunch / Mini Courses / Publishing Center / Market Day / Fundraisers / Volunteering / Bicycle Policy / Insufficient Funds Policy The purpose of the Home & School Association is to foster cooperation and communication between the school and the home and to provide an avenue by which the volunteer efforts of students, parents and guardians might enhance the school environment and instructional programs. Beebe parents can choose from a wide range of opportunities for involvement. Our Home & School brings volunteers into the LRC, the classroom and the lunch room. Many Home & School activities have opportunities for parents that can not come into the school on a regular basis and need a one-time, special project to allow them to be involved at Beebe. In addition, our fundraisers provide opportunities to support Beebe to those that can not visit during the school day. All funds at Beebe go into services and projects at Beebe.
Home & School recently completed an upgrade of our playground equipment.
This spring the Home & School plans to revitalize the landscaping around
the building and the Beebe Courtyard. BACK TO TOP
BACK TO TOP Mini Courses are enrichment activities offered through
Home & School with the help of parent and community volunteers. The
program is for grades 1-5, the courses are held on three consecutive Wednesday
afternoons in February and March for one hour. Parents can volunteer to
share their expertise as an instructor, an assistant or even to help with
babysitting. BACK TO TOP Market Day is a fund-raising food co-op. Every month a
list of items available is sent home with students. The food is of high
quality; the meats are restaurant quality, vacuum packed and easy to prepare,
the produce is fresh from Water Street Market. 10% of the sales goes to
the Beebe Home & School Association. Beebe Home & School is able to fund its services and
activities because of the generous support of the parents and community.
Parents can support Beebe by purchasing Beebe Spirit Wear, helping with
the Gift Wrap Sale, buying books at the Book Fair, utilizing Market Day,
collecting Box Tops for Education from General Mills products or even just
dining out with other Beebe families on the designated Fundraiser nights.
Home & School volunteers work throughout the school
year. Parents can come into the school during the school day and help in
the LRC, or the Publishing Center, serve Hot Lunch, present Art in the
classroom or give a Mini Course in their area of expertise. Parents can
also be involved after school by helping with Market Day, assisting with
the ordering and tallying of Beebe Spirit Wear and Gift Wrap sale, or even
just dining out with other Beebe families on the designated Fundraiser
nights. Parents that can't come to Beebe can help from home. There is always
a need for typists, bakers and volunteers willing to make reminder calls.
BACK TO TOP If a check is returned to the Home and School Association marked ISF or NSF, a letter will be sent to the responsible party requesting
payment of the check and fee charged to the Home and School Account.
