ANNOUNCEMENTS
Killer Burger Fundraiser is TOMORROW! *NEW*
Another great reason to give your kitchen a break. Visit Killer Burgers' Russell St. location (NOT Hollywood!). They are donating 20% of all dine-in proceeds to BCS PTA! Many thanks go to Edmond Ley who works to organize our restaurant fundraisers. Last week, we raised $650 through Tacovore. Let's see if we can top that!
Sock and Underwear Drive - Starts This Week!
BCS is collecting donations of NEW socks, underwear, gloves and winter hats - sizes 4T to adult - to benefit the PPS Clothing Center.
Collection bins will be located near the main offices at Fernwood, as well as outside the main doors of the building Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. or send your order straight from our Amazon Wish List.
Contact Zoey Kohn zoeykohn@gmail.com and Kelsi Roberts, kelsi.p.roberts@gmail.com, with questions.
After School Garden Work Party
Join us after school for a Garden Work Party!
Thursday, February 23rd, 3:15 - 4:30pm
Sign up here.
This month we'll be focused on cleaning and organizing the shed so we are ready to go when spring arrives! We'll also tackle some small tool repairs and need help moving the dirt pile behind the shed in preparation for creating an outdoor educational space. We love for students to join us, but also need adult hands for some of the heavier lifting. Rain or shine, we plan to dig in the dirt. Please wear appropriate shoes.
Can't make it but want to bake or bring snacks to fuel the group? Please reach out to garden@beverlyclearyschool.org to coordinate. See you there. Let's grow together!
