Make Plans to Attend a Special "Festival of Lessons and Carols Service" on Dec. 12thJoin the entire Beaches Episcopal School community for the annual "Festival of Lessons and Carols Service" on Wednesday, December 12th at 9:00 a.m. in the church as we celebrate the birth of our Savior through song, drama, and prayer. Our sixth grade and first grade students will tell the story of the birth of Jesus through a powerful recreation and musical journey. Faculty members will also share a special Christmas song for all to enjoy. Your entire family is welcome, so we hope to see you there! Note: students should wear regular uniform attire unless they are participating in the program. Countdown to Success: Leave a Legacy by Giving to the BES Starfish FundIf you have not made your gift to the Starfish Fund, the countdown is on.

Reminder about Labeling Jackets and SweatshirtsAs the weather gets colder, we want to remind our parents to label your students' jackets and sweatshirts that are worn to school. Our teachers occasionally find clothing items that are either not given a name or are missing a label altogether, and we want to make sure everyone has what belongs to them. Please return any jackets or sweatshirts to the front office that you find at home that do not belong to your student. Thank you for helping us in this area.
