Teacher Appreciation Gift Card Drive

For information about family events and youth activities taking place in our community, click the Community Events button, below. Please note: These events and activities are not sponsored by the Calvert County Board of Education or Calvert County Public Schools. We provide equal opportunities to outside agencies to distribute materials that offer opportunities to students and/or their parents, but that permission should not be considered a recommendation or endorsement by the school district.

On March 30th, Calvert County proudly presented the All-County Elementary Chorus in a concert at Huntingtown High School. Students from 5th grade chorus were selected based on talent, display of leadership skills, determination and commitment to music, and sent with other 5th graders from all over the county to learn higher caliber music and perform with the best of what the county has to offer. Their hard work resulted in an incredible concert and we are so proud of them for their accomplishments. If you know these students, please congratulate them for a job well done!

It's only March, but we're planning ahead for the end of the year! It's time to start looking through your old files and albums because Mrs. Grenier is collecting photos for our 5th grade recognition slideshow. We're especially looking for school related photos: kindergarten graduation, first days, field trips, friends at the bus stop, virtual learning, friend groups, photos with teachers, etc. Please send your 5th grade photos to Mrs. Grenier at this special email address: Beach5thGrade@gmail.com. We may not be able to use all of the photos that we receive, but we'll do our best to make sure that all of our 5th graders are represented! Remember, this is just for this year's 5th graders! Please include your student's full name as the subject of your email. Remember that any pictures that are sent may be used in our slideshow which will be shared with all BES 5th grade families.

Our spring Scholastic book fair will take place during the week of May 1st through the 5th. As we'll be starting our big packing project to move to our new building, we'd like to keep the book fair as simple as possible. This book fair will be CASH FREE. All families will need to set up a Scholastic E-Wallet for student purchases.

The E-Wallet works much like a gift card; you set the amount with your credit or debit card on our Scholastic site, give your student their Scholastic E-Wallet print out, and then we do the rest. You can also share your student's E-Wallet with family and friends who might like to add more funds for your student to shop. Any leftover E-Wallet funds stay on your student's account for future book fairs or online Scholastic shopping.

We've been using E-Wallets for a few years now and they really are helpful. No need to worry about your student forgetting or losing book fair cash when it's already taken care of online!

Regular credit card and check purchases will be available on our after-school family night. More information about the fair will come home over the next few weeks. We'll be needing lots of volunteers!

Visit our book fair site here to learn more or to set up your account. https://www.scholastic.com/bf/beachelementaryschoolMD
