Martha's MessageDear Parents, BES has a lot of exiting information to share with you regarding the last few weeks of school. Be sure to read everything carefully, so you don’t miss the fun! Yesterday, our Boosterthon Fun Run kicked off with an energetic pep rally, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! The first step for you is to register your child/children on funrun.com. The Pledgebook came home with your student yesterday, so please support us over the next few days by asking friends and family to make a pledge toward your child for the event. Don’t forget to save the Fun Run date, Friday, May 3rd at 8:30 a.m., on your calendar. We encourage you to come out and cheer on your students! This year, the Fun Run profit is designated for teacher professional development and classroom wish lists. The Fun Run will directly benefit your child’s teacher/and or classroom. Our current professional development budget is very modest which limits the number of faculty we can send to workshops and conferences. We would love to increase this line item, so we have an abundance of funds for everyone who desires to grow professionally. Once again, thank you so much for your ongoing support of the school! Fondly, Boosterthon Fun Run Program is Underway at BES - Begin Collecting Pledges for the Event!Our Beaches Episcopal School Fun Run is present on our school campus, and we kicked it off in exciting fashion with a pep rally yesterday. We’ve asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our two-week Fun Run program, making our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more fun. Our Fun Run includes every student in a fun, fitness event that focuses on character while helping our school raise much-needed funds. This year, our entire school is raising funds for teacher wish lists and professional development and we need YOUR help! Here’s how you can support : ● Register your student on funrun.com by searching “Beaches Episcopal School”. We have a friendly competition going on to see who will be the first class to get 100% of their student’s registered on funrun.com. ● Reach out to sponsors. Every student’s goal is to connect with 10 sponsors. And with funrun.com’s smart sharing features, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get pledges is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. Plus, with a few clicks you can create a custom Student Star video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. As you gather pledges, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card. ● Ask your child about the MindSpark Mystery Lab Character Lesson of the day! This year’s character program is a S.T.E.A.M theme all about solving problems with character. As they solve mysteries together, five brainy students will encourage our students to live with character. Join along by watching the fun character videos with your child on funrun.com. ● Come to the Fun Run on Friday, May 3rd at 8:30 a.m. All students are included in the Fun Run, regardless of financial participation. Remember, students will be running 30-35 laps, and we would love for you to come out and cheer! UPDATE for April 25th: The Boosterthon Student Star video starring your child is the EASIEST and BEST way to ask for a Fun Run pledge. Log into funrun.com, click “Create Student Star Video” button, add a photo of your child, and SHARE it via email and social media! Your student has been challenged to try and be one of the top 3 pledgers in the school! If they are one of the top 3 pledgers by tomorrow, then they will get to Pie a Booster Team Member in the face during their huddle! Thank you for supporting our school. We hope to see you at the Fun Run! BES Summer Camp is "The Best Camp at the Beach!"
