Final Push!
Mrs. Kucheck's class is now in first place for membership, and both hers and Mrs. Garcia's classes only need TWO more memberships to reach 100% and a coveted popsicle party - will they get there by Friday? AND Ms. Mak's class is STILL on track to earn a popsicle and pizza party for the highest total in pledge donations, with Mrs. OβConnell/Mrs. Reynoldsβ class in 2nd place!
We KNOW we can get to that $50K and see Mr. Linville kiss a bearded dragon!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you know that Beacon Park School has an assigned School Resource Officer who acts as a direct link between our school community and the Irvine Police Department?
School safety is certainly a hot topic these days, and Officer Melissa Porter has generously offered to come and introduce herself (and her assigned support dog, Ronnie - one of only two Irvine PD support dogs) to Bengal parents, plus answer questions about school safety!
Grab a coffee from The Cup and stop by the Novel House to get a FREE Krispy Kreme donut (while supplies last), meet Officer Porter, ask any questions you might have about important school safety topics, connect with Principal Linville and other Bengal parents, and learn about all the great things happening at our school!
