Beck Walking Track - Healthy Body, Healthy Mind!
Each Monday in the cafeteria, the students who log in 2 miles or more (8 laps) get a colorful toe-token to add to their lanyard. Some students are almost up to 20 miles! The 20-milers will receive a special Walking Club 'dog tag' to add to their lanyard.
Class totals have been a big hit this spring, too, and the competition is heating up! So far one class (Mr. Barthelmeh's 5th grade) has logged more than 303 miles total! Other classes are not far behind! All classes who hit 500 miles before June 8, will get a special prize!
Field Day is Coming Back - June 2, 2022
Field Day - Thursday, June 2, 2022
Mark your calendar for our Field Day at Beck Elementary on Thursday June 2, 2022. Make up date is Friday June 3. We will need lots of volunteers to make this day a success! Here is the schedule for the day:
- Morning (8:50 - 11:00 a.m.): Young 5's, Kindergarten, and Grades 1 & 2. Volunteer meeting at 8:50 a.m. in the lobby and Field Day activities until 11:00 a.m.
- Afternoon (12:30 - 2:45 p.m.): Grades 3, 4, 5, & 6. Volunteer meeting at 12:30 p.m. in the lobby and Field Day activities until 2:45 p.m.
If you can spare a few hours to be a volunteer, please click on the link below to take you to the Sign Up Genius. Please remember, you must fill out a background check prior to volunteering. It takes about 7-10 days to clear those, so please make sure you are filling those out and getting them turned in ASAP!
Volunteers will meet in the front lobby for a brief meeting and head out to their stations. You will then stay at that station as classes rotate to you. Once the final whistle blows, you are free to leave.
