Beckwith Bulletin

November 6, 2026
BMS Community,
It was another great week at Beckwith! Our soccer teams wrapped up their regular season at Seekonk. It was a great season for both teams, and now we turn our attention to basketball! Our first basketball games are scheduled for November 30th at Dighton. Please check the Beckwith Beacon for the full schedule.
Tuesday, there was no school as staff took part in a Professional Development Day. The DReams Seminars were once again a great opportunity for staff to learn, collaborate, and continue growing professionally.
On Wednesday, we held our annual Unified Bocce Staff vs. Students game. It was a fun time for everyone involved! A big thank you to all of the staff members who volunteered and helped make it such a great event. This also wraps up another fantastic Unified Bocce season. Up next... Unified Basketball!

Golden Ticket Winner
This year we have added a new incentive to our Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS). Throughout the year students are nominated by their teachers OR they can earn orange tickets in exchange for going above and beyond the expectations at school. When they have 15 they can cash them in for a golden ticket and be entered to win a gift card. Pictured here are the nominees for October! This month's winner is Ben O'Connor! Congratulations Ben!
3RD ANNUAL BLOOD DRIVE IN MEMORY OF DONNA ARRUDA
This is our third annual blood drive in memory of Donna Arruda who worked at Beckwith in our kitchen and died in a horrific car crash 4 years ago. This link takes folks directly to the site to sign up to donate. If you can't make this date, you can use this alternate link to donate on a different day in December but have it count toward our drive!
