ANNOUNCEMENTS

Spookarama Thank You!
*NEW*

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make Spookarama such a special event! From the incredible volunteers who spent countless hours planning, organizing, decorating, setting up, and making the magic happen, to the families who came out to enjoy the festivities - we couldn't have done it without you!

Spookarama is one of our favorite BCS traditions, and it's our amazing school community that makes it so special year after year. Thank you for bringing the fun, excitement, and community spirit. We hope everyone had a spooktacular time!

We'd love to see your Spookarama photos! Share your favorite moments on the BCS PTA Facebook page or email them to communications@beverlyclearyschool.org.

As a friendly reminder, if you're sharing photos that include other children, please make sure you have permission from their grown-ups before posting!

Register Your OBOB Team by November 13!

BCS Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) Registration is Open!

Registration for the BCS OBOB program is underway! The registration deadline is November 13. We encourage all 3rd–8th grade readers to join this fun program that celebrates reading, teamwork, and friendly competition.

Parents should register their students individually, but they can request specific teammates during registration. Please keep in mind that parent coaches and event-day volunteers are essential to making this program possible!

For the registration link and additional program details, please visit the website linked below.

OBOB Books Are Available!

Thanks to the PTA, all 3rd–5th grade classrooms now have three sets of this year's OBOB books, and Mr. Sundberg has a set available for middle school students.

If you'd like to purchase books for your child, please consider ordering through A Children's Place Bookstore https://www.achildrensplacebookstore.com/oregon-battle-of-the-books to support BCS. Be sure to mention BCS in the order comments so our school receives credit!

Help Keep OBOB Going Strong!

We're also looking for one or more parents interested in helping coordinate the program. I'll be leading OBOB this year with Brooke's help, but we're hoping to find someone who would be interested in taking the reins next year. This is a great opportunity to get involved and help keep this beloved program going!

If you're interested in helping, coaching, volunteering, or learning more, please reach out!
