Caring Bears Committee

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.

HSA SPENDING HIGHLIGHTS
Enhanced Communication Tools at Beaumont!

The HSA recently used funds raised this far this school year to purchase walkie-talkie’s for the school.  They provide instant communication across the building to support students who may need assistance with their learning plans and behaviors. They may be used in building safety practices like fire drills, lockdown drills, and relocation drills. They will also be additional communication tools in the event of urgent situations and emergencies.

GREEN CORNER
Cafeteria Composting at Beaumont

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!

Beaumont Families....Do You Want to Compost At Home?

Due to rising interest in the program, Mother Compost is offering Beaumont families $15 off after the free month of service with the code BEAUMONT15.  If you use this link to sign up, you will also get $10 off your subscription renewal.
