What Does the PTSA Do?

 Elementary Classroom Holiday Parties
Our Accomplishments in 2020-2021
Picture
​Classroom Parties are held every year in Preschool-5th grades. Your child will participate in fun games, crafts, snacks and activities during many of the major holidays during this school year.

These parties are planned and paid for by parents like you!!!

To assist with cost of these fun events, we ask each family to make the suggested donation of $10-$20.  Any donation is greatly appreciated. 


​It's very easy to donate to class parties online by clicking the button below. 
​If you'd rather not pay online, please make checks payable to “Beechwood PTSA”.  Label your child’s grade and homeroom teacher on an envelope, and place envelopes in the PTSA mailbox outside of the elementary office.  

The Room Parent will submit all receipts to cover the costs of activities and snacks for each party.  They will be reimbursed from the amount in the class party fund.  The class party funds will only be used for the class parties.  Teacher gifts cannot be purchased using class party funds.  The Room Parent will ask for additional donations for teacher gifts for anyone who wants to contribute.

Without your time, creativity and generosity, these parties would not be possible.  Thank you!
