***AUCTION WINNERS!***

We will be holding a pickup table during Open House in the cafeteria to collect payment (credit card, cash or check) and provide you with your winning items. Cash or check payments are appreciated as they help the PTA avoid paying credit card fees.

Below are a few notes:

- If you have already paid online, don't worry, we have tracked payments.
- If you have won a teacher/staff member experience, your teacher will be in contact with you on scheduling and next steps.
- If you won a school supply kit, your name will be added to the supply list, but we will need confirmation on your students name for our delivery records. You can send this via email or when you come to pay.
- If you won naming the drop off street or the parking, we will need the name for the plaque and/or street name. You can send this via email or when you come to pay.
- Lastly, if you will not be at open house and need to plan something different for pickup, please reach out directly at onlineauction@beverlypta.com so we can discuss options.

We all have culture to share! Save the date for our Multicultural Night on March 26! Let's participate on this amazing event that showcase the beautiful diversity at Beverly. Here are some ways that you can help:

1. Sign up by hosting a country booth. We will have the presentation area in the cafeteria with tables setup for countries' displays. Here are some ideas of things you can do: Dress in special traditional attire, provide food samples, share maps of your country, show interesting photos of the country's cultures, setup crafts for students/children to do, share holiday traditions, demonstrate music instruments, play/teach games, share art. Those are just some ideas, but feel free to come up with yours too! Everyone is welcome to participate!

2. Does your Beverly child sing, dance, do martial arts, or a part of other group that does performances from different cultures? This is a chance to show their talents! Sign up to perform at the event!

3. Volunteer! We need volunteers to help out either before/during/after with set up and clean up.

We have a fabulous and incredibly experienced Field Day Coordinator this year, but she no longer has students at Beverly. She continues to serve Beverly out of the goodness of her heart!

We would love for a current parent to start learning the ropes. This year we are looking for an Assistant Field Day Coordinator who could move into the coordinator position next year.

This is not a super-involved position because you are working with the PE coaches who have everything set up like a well-oiled machine! Please contact volunteers@beverlypta.com if you are interested or if you have any questions!

We need pictures from all grade levels and school clubs for our 2019-2020 Yearbook! Parents, if you have pictures from school events or your child's class or club events this year, please send it to pictures@beverlypta.com so your child's grade level can be represented in the yearbook! Thank you for those who have sent pictures. Keep them coming!
