720 members and counting! π₯³οΈπππππ
We only need $10,565 to reach our pledge drive goal of $50K by our October 14th deadline. We are working hard to raise enough funds to offer another session of STEM classes this school year - will you join the cause and help us provide this popular enrichment opportunity to our students?
If you haven't already joined PTA (430 students are still not represented), please join and donate HERE! And if you are one of the 549 members who haven't yet donated, please consider donating ANY amount HERE (via your TOTEM account - see image) or HERE (less fees)!
REMEMBER, families who donate at least $250 will get...
- A FREE Kona Ice for each Bengal student family member
- A raffle entry for Donuts with Mr. Linville
- Recognition on our Bengal Backer wall
AND
- The class with the highest total donations will get a pizza and popsicle party
- Each class with 100% membership will get a popsicle party
- Mr. Linville will kiss a bearded dragon at the Fall Festival if we reach our new goal of $50,000 in donations
GO BENGALS!!!

Parents: you can start shopping NOW through October 28th! Please share the link with friends and family members who are unable to visit the in-person fair (10/24-10/28).
Avoid the worry of sending your child to the fair with cash - purchase a gift card in advance to make the checkout process as easy and worry-free as possible!
Gift cards are also a GREAT gift for your child's teacher, and even our school library! Wishlist information is coming soon.

Annual October Bengal BOO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bengal Parents Connect
Friday, October 14th, 8:15am - 9:30am
The Novel House, 385 Novel (adjacent to The Cup coffee shop)
Attention Beacon Park School parents! It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child, and PTA has created the Bengal Parents Connect club (via Great Park Neighborhoods) to help you build and cultivate that village. We strongly believe that socializing and networking with fellow Bengal parents is a necessary (and fun!) way to support our kids by strengthening our school community.
On select Friday mornings after school drop-off, our club will meet at the beautiful Novel House! Grab a drink at The Cup (we are working on getting a discount for Beacon Park PTA members) and head over to the Novel House to meet and converse with other Bengal parents, plus learn more about what's going on at Beacon Park School! Stay tuned for more info about special guests from our community who will be available to chat and answer FAQ's!
