T&E Care 2024 Holiday Drive


Beaumont Elementary School Collection


Each year, T&E Care supports local persons and families by providing goods during the holiday season. Throughout November, BES T&E Care Representatives are hosting a CLASSROOM FOOD BAG CHALLENGE! This is an exciting opportunity for our students to participate in a service project. Each classroom will be asked to fill up bags of food/household items to be given to friends in our own neighborhoods. We ask all items to be brought into the classroom by Wednesday, November 20th. The bags will be assembled by each grade on Monday, November 25th and Tuesday, November 26th:

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. 

COMMUNITY SERVICE
GotSneakers? Fundraiser

GotSneakers is a sustainable community service fundraiser, gently used SNEAKERS are collected to support those in need globally. The sneaker recycling program helps keep sneakers out of landfills, which has harmful effects on our environment. The GOTSNEAKERS program rewards the collection efforts with a small monetary reward that goes to the Conestoga Track & Field Booster Club! The program is truly a win – win!

 

As of September 16, 2024, all the TE Schools will host GotSneakers collection boxes in their entryways for new & gently used SNEAKERS. Since 2023 the TE School District has donated over 1500  pairs of sneakers globally while supporting our Running Teams & a sustainable environment.  Click here for SNEAKER GUIDELINES.
