Walk to School Day- October 4
Walk to School Day is an annual event to encourage families to walk or bike ride safely to school. Many families enjoy their mornings together as they walk daily. This is a great opportunity for students to see alternatives that are healthy for the family and environment. It is also an excellent way to model appropriate pedestrian behaviors including using crosswalks, staying on the sidewalk, obeying the rules of the road, and being aware of your surroundings.
The PTA will be supporting group walks to school from 3 different starting points. This should be an enjoyable walk. Please feel free to make signs and a lot of noise for the walk. Students usually begin gathering at the designated locations by 8:30 and plan to begin their walk by 8:40 am. We hope parents can join their children for this special day to make it a festive event.
We invite all students (and families) to join in community walks (or rolls). Mayor Bridget Newton and Council Member (and West End neighbor) Monique Ashton will be joining our Dragons at Mannakee Circle. We encourage excitement, signs celebrating the event, and lots of noise to attract attention! Beall PTA Parent Captains (thank you, Rebecca & Jonathan Thessin, Victoria Hadfield and Mary Drake) will be facilitating walks from the following locations:
Time: 8:30am
Locations:
- Mannakee Circle
- Beall & Forrest Ave.
- Carr/Lynch/Welsh Park entrance
Join other Dragons for a fun walk to school!
REMINDER: Monday, October 9- No School

Join the PTA!
Please join the PTA for the 2023-2024 school year! Your support is critical for the PTA programs and events that we all love. The 2023-2024 membership form is now open - please join today! A note about this year's dues: In an effort to ensure that cost is not a barrier to any Beall family joining the PTA, we have lowered our PTA dues substantially. We are therefore kindly requesting that you consider making a donation to the PTA when you purchase your membership, to support our programming. A donation in the amount of $20 (individual) or $35 (family) would bring your total contribution in line with last year's dues, but any amount is appreciated. We thank you for your support.
