All Star Parents:

Happy April Everyone!  As the saying goes, April showers bring sunny and 70 (or something like that)!

March Is Reading Month was a success once again here at Beacon Tree Elementary!  Students read an abundance of books and stories this month.  Fenway and Hattie was enjoyed by our students and staff throughout the month.  Thank you to all of you for making reading a priority this past month.  It is our goal to have this continue throughout the year, and not just March.  However, our parents do such a great job with creating an environment where students are immersed in our building theme throughout the month of March!  Thank you to all of the parents who were involved in the creation, set up and tear down of all of the March Is Reading Month decorations!  You are a key factor in making this month a HUGE success!

I wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!  I hope that each of our All Star Families enjoys the time with family and friends!  School will resume on Monday, April 9th!

Please do not forget that the Newsletter is available each month with the link below!
