The students have spoken, and they chose "Beverly's Got Talent" as the name of our Virtual Fall Fundraiser this year! Each student has the opportunity to upload a video of their talent/skill to their private fundraiser page, and friends and family can donate in support of the student and the school.
 
Do they dance? Awesome! Bake? Great! Teach the dog cool tricks? Amazing! Serve those in need? Yes! Anything can be a talent and make your child special!
Our goal is $15,000 raised to pay for online learning programs, teacher support, and other important programs! That breaks down to about $50 per student. You will receive information to register when the site goes live on October 4.

***REVISED ROUTE** (note that this does NOT take place at Beverly Elementary):

 

 

 

ROUTE: Enter Duchess Drive from Hedgcoxe. Turn left on Palace Way. Continue on Palace Way and around the cul-de-sac where Palace Way and Needham Drive intersect. After receiving your popsicle (and any orders to pick up), continue out through Needham.

Please do not turn right onto Duchess in order to exit onto Hedgcoxe. This will help with congestion.

THINGS EASIER FOR YOU AND NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS.***
Thank you, and sorry for the confusion!
