What Does the PTSA Do?

2018-19 Elementary Classroom Holiday Parties
Our Accomplishments Last Year
Picture
​Classroom Parties are held every year in K-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. 

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 PTSA will pass on the collected funds to each classroom’s Lead Room Parent. The Lead Room Parent distributes the party donations to cover the costs of activities and snacks for each party.  Any funds remaining after party costs will go towards a classroom gift for the teacher.

Without your time, creativity and generosity, these parties would not be possible.  Thank you!
  • IDEA Lab:  Donated $35,000 to the new IDEA Lab, a unique learning experience like none other in our region. The IDEA Lab is a universal space that will provide an opportunity for students and teachers to Innovate - Design - Engineer - Apply.
  • Gifts Back to the School:  Each year the PTSA donates much needed items to the school. Last year, in addition to the IDEA Lab contribution, the PTSA donated $3,000 worth of poster machine supplies and a $1,000 outdoor basketball hoop.
  • Teacher Supply Allowances:  Our organization donated $1,800 for teacher supplies.  Teachers that joined the PTSA were reimbursed up to $30 for classroom supplies of their choice. 
We hope you will join in “Coordinating, Collaborating and Communicating" with the PTSA!
