What we've done in the Beye community so far this year
The PTO has already been very busy this year! Take a look below at what we've accomplished in the first trimester of school year 24-25, but please keep in mind, we can't do this without your support: to date, we've raised $2,000, while spending $18,500 on the programs below. We have some big fundraisers coming up, with the Parents' Night Out at Comedy Plex on December 5th, the Pancake Breakfast on January 11th, and the Fun Fair and Plant Sale planned for this spring, but please consider making a donation to fund all of the important work the PTO is doing.
Playground Improvements: PTO volunteers repaired the little house on the playground with materials funded by the PTO.
Assemblies: All Beye students had the opportunity to enjoy the Storm Science assembly and Opera for the Young.
Grants: The PTO has given out over $2,700 for classroom supplies and enrichment to teachers and staff in round one of our annual grant program. Round two will open in January 2025. The PTO has also provided subscriptions to either Time for Kids or Scholastic News to every Beye student in grades K-2.
Community events: The PTO has hosted the Parent Coffee on the first day of school, the Back to School Picnic, Math Night, and the Dia de Los Muertos celebration.
Birthday Books: School Librarian, Mr. Withers, asked the PTO for funds to start a new program this year where he chooses a new book to gift to every Beye student on their birthday. The PTO is thrilled to fund this and celebrate all of our Bobcats while fostering a love of reading.
Curriculum Night Babysitting: The PTO provided babysitting services during Curriculum Night as a convenience for parents.
One Book, One District: While the school district provides a copy of the One Book, One District text for all students, it does not provide them to teachers and staff. Beye School PTO steps in to fill this gap, purchasing copies of this year's book for all building staff and teachers who would like one.
Teacher Conference Meals: The PTO provided our teachers and staff with lunch during the Fall Parent-Teacher conferences.
The Great Apple Crunch: The PTO supplied apples to every Beye student for the Great Apple Crunch, celebrating healthy eating.
Repairs to the Food Pantry: The PTO funded materials to replace the doors to the Beye Food Pantry, allowing us to keep food and other supplies accessible to those in our community who need them.
First Grade Garden/Green Team: The PTO provided supplies to refurbish the First Grade Garden as well as providing supplies to the Green Team.
Assistance for a student in need: The PTO used equity funds provided by a local non-profit to provide a Beye student with crucial supplies.
Administrative costs: The PTO has also used funds to pay for our website, subscribe to Konstella, our communication platform, renew our annual insurance policy, and pay to print the Beye Directory.
...And so much MORE! Volunteer today or head to a meeting to get involved. Our next meeting will be held Saturday, January 11th, at the end of the Pancake Breakfast.
