The Buzz from Beech
Beech Parent Newsletter - March 2024
March is Reading and Women's History Month!
A Message from the Principal
Families,
February brought many fun and exciting things to the students and staff at Beech! Our kindergarten and pre-school programs were celebrated in the news, all of us celebrated the love and respect we have for each other, and we have had opportunities for field trips and fun. You can see the Fox 2 News segments from Valentine's day by clicking on the buttons below.
During my coffee with the Principal for the month of February, I shared out information for session 5 of Parent University as well as NWEA reports that will be shared with families. Please check out our school Facebook page and rewatch the Facebook Live session for more information.
Our students and staff will celebrate women's and reading history month during the month of March by having guest readers, celebrating the impact women have had on the world, and focusing on our love for reading.
Ms. Melissa Nickel
Principal/Beech Elementary School
