Teacher Grants Committee
*NEW*

The Teacher Grants committee is looking for 2-3 more members to review and approve grant submissions. We meet virtually at the end of each quarter to review and discuss proposals. Meetings last about 30 minutes.

Interested? Email grants@beverlyclearyschool.org. 

OBOB Registration Is Live!

Registration for the BCS OBOB program is underway! We’re currently up to 55 registered kids and climbing. Please register your 3rd to 8th grade readers for this fun program. 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.

The 3-5 classrooms now have three sets each of this year's books courtesy of the PTA, and Mr. Sundberg has a single set for the middle schoolers. If you want to order your child books, please consider doing so through the following link to benefit the school: https://www.achildrensplacebookstore.com/oregon-battle-of-the-books. You need to mention BCS in the order comments for the school to get credit.

I’m also looking for one or more folks interested in help running the program. I’m looking to run the program this year (with Brooke’s help) and then pass the torch to someone else next year. Please reach out if you’re interested.

You can reach me, Brian Elliott, via email at obob@beverlyclearyschool.org.

SPOOKARAMA IS COMING!!!

We are so excited to celebrate the spooky season with all of you! This year we’ll be celebrating over two nights made especially for our elementary and middle schoolers. We’ll have food, games, a treat trot, fortune teller, and much much more! Click the link below for more info and some FAQs.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

BOTH NIGHTS of Spookarama require a lot of parent participation to make them happen. If we don’t have elementary AND middle school parent volunteers, this event won’t be possible! Please click below to sign up.

NOTE: Shifts taking place during K-5 night are split into two opportunities to ensure volunteers have time to explore and enjoy the event with their little ones.
