All Star Parents:



We have an update to our FUN RUN fundraising!  Drum Roll Please!!!!

                           Updated Fun Run Thermometer

We have reached $22,368!!!!  This is absolutely incredible!!!  Our BTV is still counting donations as we speak, and our ultimate goal is in sight!  Thank you for all of your donations to Beacon Tree Elementary!  Do not worry if you were not able to bring in your donations today, the BTV is still taking donations through Monday.  Please remember that you can still donate electronically by clicking HERE 

I am so grateful for all of your support!  It truly makes me a proud principal when I see the community come together like this for the children!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Later this month we will be holding our annual Halloween Parade!  We will have more information as October 31st gets closer, so keep an eye out!  When selecting a costume, please be aware that some of them are more appropriate for a school setting than others.  If you have questions about a costume, please double check with your teacher, or call the office and we can help you.  Some costumes may have accessories that come with them.  Please make sure to keep all accessories like guns, knives, swords, etc. at home.  If the weather permits, I would like to again have the parade outdoors.  We all know that Michigan weather can change quickly, so we will make a decision as the day comes closer.  Keep your fingers crossed for sunshine! 


SPIRIT WEAR:

We are still looking to see if anyone is interested in starting a Lego Robotics Program here at Beacon Tree.  I have placed a link below with information to help get a program started.  If you have questions about the program, please feel free to contact me so that I can answer any questions you may have.
