The Caring Bears Committee was launched in Fall 2020 as a way to support and/or recognize members of our Beaumont Elementary School community who may have achieved something extraordinary or experienced a significant life event or challenge.

Examples of some of the events the Committee has recognized include: student achievements/awards; family achievements or celebrations; illnesses/injuries/bereavement; and BES staff marriages and babies.

The Committee delivers sweet, stuffed Beaumont Bears to school community members who have experienced one of these life events. The Committee also has a program involving BES 4th grade students who are able to show support and care for classmates by writing Caring Bears cards to fellow students at card-writing centers organized in the 4th grade classrooms. The Caring Bears look forward to growing their impact on the BES school community in the years to come!

Do you know a Beaumont family who would appreciate outreach from the Caring Bears? Send an email to caringbears@beaumonthsa.org.

Beaumont Elementary's Home and School Association is proud to offer its families a bound and printed copy of the 2024-25 Student Directory. Pre-orders are now available for $8. Limited quantities will be available for $10 after printing, so order yours today! Copies will be sent home with your student in early October. 

We are excited to be in the process of planning Beaumont’s first Family Culture Evening. The event will take place on Wednesday, October 16th, which will correspond to the timing of the Fall Bookfair.

This school year Beaumont Elementary School will be partnering with Mother Compost to initiate a cafeteria composting program.  Mother Compost is a commercial composting company who provides off-site composting services for residences, commercial entities and schools. We hope to convert most of the cafeteria waste to usable compost through Mother Compost's services. Beaumont Elementary School is one of the first public schools in SE PA to start a program like this! The program is being funded by a grant provided by the Chester County Solid Waste Authority.  We will be launching the program this coming week!

Our Beaumont Elementary students were recently treated to two assemblies.  Mother Goose visited on September 27th.  And we celebrated National Hispanic Heritage Month with a school-wide assembly on October 1st, featuring the music and powerful rhythms of Samba to Salsa. Thank you for your continued support of our HSA!
