The Beaufort Buzz

Mother Nature seems a little confused lately — one day it feels like spring with sunshine and shorts, and the next we’re digging out coats and watching snowflakes fall! Missouri weather is keeping us on our toes, but one thing is certain… it is officially March, and we have a busy and exciting month ahead!

We’re kicking off March in the best way — with Read Across America Week and a fun-filled spirit week to celebrate the joy of reading. Be sure to check out the spirit days below and all the other exciting events we have “cooking” this month. It’s going to be a great one!

We are also excited to celebrate two very special members of our Beaufort Elementary family. Our Certified Staff Member of the Year is Mrs. Baer, our incredible music teacher. She does a fantastic job laying a strong foundation of music knowledge for our students and truly is the heart of Beaufort Elementary. Our Classified Staff Member of the Year is Sheryl Conway, one of our dedicated custodians. Sheryl works tirelessly to keep our school safe, clean, and welcoming each day. Both of these women make a lasting impact on our students and staff, and we are so proud to celebrate them. Join us in congratulating and honoring them!

We are incredibly proud of the forty fourth- and fifth-grade students who participated in this year’s Battle of the Books. Each student who committed to reading Mark Twain books demonstrated dedication, perseverance, and a true love of reading. Their effort and enthusiasm made this event something special.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our librarian, Mrs. B, for the countless hours of planning, organizing, and supporting students throughout the process. This event would not have been possible without her leadership and commitment, along with the support of our teachers and staff who helped bring it all together.

Thank you as well to the families who attended and supported their students. Your encouragement and presence meant so much to our readers and contributed to the positive energy of the day.

Events like this remind us that it truly takes a village. We are grateful to be part of such a strong, supportive, and caring school community at Beaufort.

Summer school information came home on Friday! Due to a large outdoor project, Beaufort's Summer School will be held at Prairie Dell Elementary this year. We are very grateful to the admin and staff of PDE for opening their doors to us.

Open to incoming kindergarteners to fifth graders. Students finished with fifth grade will go to the middle school for summer school.

Dates: June 1st - June 26th

Transportation will still run buses for Beaufort families

More detailed communication and registration packets will come soon!
