H&S Volunteering
Volunteering at Beebe through the Home and School is a great way to meet other Beebe parents, get to know the wonderful Beebe staff, and most importantly, get to know the students and what’s going on in the 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 fill out the volunteer sign-up form or contact one of the H&S chairpersons listed on the Beebe Web site or in the Beebe Parent Handbook.
