Save the Date | OBOB 2/20/2027

OBOB is a beloved tradition at BCS supporting literacy. Groups of students form a team, read books, and socialize. The event culminates with book trivia battles at a school tournament, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, February 20, 2027.

Registration for the BCS OBOB program is open! Please register your 3rd to 8th grade readers by November 13 for this fun program that promotes literacy in a team setting. Parents register their students as individuals, but are able to identify requested teammates. Please keep in mind that coaches and event-day volunteers will be needed in order to make the event possible.

For the registration form link and other details, please visit the website linked below. Feel free to reach out to Brian Elliott (brian@elliott.team) directly with any questions.

PTA For Your Child!

It’s time for another exciting year to start, and an important part of Beverly Cleary School is our PTA.

BCS’ PTA supports critical academic needs, is an active voice in decisions that impact your child’s health, safety, and quality of education, and builds a stronger, more inclusive school community. We invite you to join and PTA for your child, because membership dues help make it possible to:

• Host community building events like Spookarama and the Art Show
• Support educational enrichment activities like OBOB and Neurodiveristy week
• Celebrate and support our teachers through teacher appreciation week and grants

And so much more!

There is no wrong or right way to be involved - anything you can give, whether it's time, money, or input, will support your child’s potential. We invite you to join because we can do more together than apart - and it only takes 5 minutes!

Fall Enrichments

Fall after-school class listings and registration are available now!

Classes include arts, music, ultimate frisbee, chess, breakdance, D&D, STEM and more. Partial scholarships are available to make these programs accessible to all families. Just tell a school counselor if you need one (after-school providers can often subsidize the remainder.)

These classes are a way to build community, expand kids' interests and assist parents after school. They are not endorsed or sponsored by BCS or the PTA.
