HAVE A GREAT WEEK!🐾🍎😊

Dear Beaubien Elementary Families,

We hope you had a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving break! As we return to school, we have just three weeks left until Winter Break, and we’re excited for the many fun and engaging activities we have planned for our students during the month of December.

Our goal over the next few weeks is to ensure that all students are present and actively participating in school, as long as they are healthy. We believe that getting to school on time at 7:45 and being there everyday can make a big difference, not just in academics but also in building school community and enthusiasm for the upcoming holiday season.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in helping our students thrive. Let's finish these last few weeks of 2024 strong!

Warm regards,
Michelle H. Ludford
Principal, Beaubien Elementary

The Beaubien Student Council would like to take a moment to thank all who donated food to this year’s Student Council Food Drive.

With the generous donations Beaubien received, we were able to completely fill Olive’s Food Pantry and still have enough to donate a few boxes and bags of food to New Hope Community Food Pantry on Foster. The team at New Hope was truly grateful for our contribution and they gave us a tour of their facility to show us how they operate. It was an eye-opening experience, especially seeing the line of people waiting to go into the food pantry that stretched around the block.

Overall, it was a very successful food drive! To all who donated and to our students leading the cause, way to go Beaubien for helping to make a difference!
