Beebe Home & School - more detail

Full List of Representatives

The big event at Beebe is Pumpkin Fest. This old-fashioned fun fair is almost 50 years old. It takes the efforts of some special organizers and hundreds of volunteers to bring the entire Beebe community together for a day of fun for everyone; games with prizes, raffles, food and entertainment. Prizes are donated by many local businesses and parents. All funds raised go toward purchasing technology for Beebe.

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.

Volunteering at Beebe through the Home and School is a great way to meet other Beebe parents, get to know our wonderful Beebe staff, and most importantly, get to know the kids and what’s going on in our classrooms. Opportunities range from one hour commitments to year-long involvements so there is sure to be something to fit most schedules. To get involved simply contact one of our chairpersons listed on the Beebe website or in the Beebe Student and Parent Handbook.

Mini Courses are enrichment activities offered through Home & School with the help of parent and community volunteers. The program is for kids in grades 1-5. The courses are held on 2 consecutive Thursdays in the spring for about 1 ½ hours per session. Parents can volunteer to share their expertise as an instructor, pitch in as an assistant or even help with babysitting.

On the first day of the new school year your child will need school supplies predetermined by Beebe teachers. In the spring of each year the Home and School provides the opportunity to order school supplies for the following school year. This is not a fundraiser for Beebe. This is a service to you and is highly encouraged by our teachers. It has been a helpful, efficient method for ensuring students are equipped with all they need and helps achieve uniformity between the students in terms of supplies. Please note that you are not required to purchase your child’s supplies through this program. For complete supply lists and ordering information please see the School Supply Lists link on the Beebe website (above).

School, Family, Community Partnership (SFCP) - This organization works with the Home and School to run family events such as the Ice Cream Social, Read Naturally Program, school-wide surveys, Family Connections and Turn off the TV week.
