Message from the Principal

Daugherty

Dear Beech Tree Families,

We just completed our first five day week of 2019-2020! Thank you to all our parents who joined us last night for our PTA meeting. Megan Laboy, our PTA president described all the different ways our PTA supports students and staff at Beech Tree. Greg Skrtic, our SCA sponsor, spoke to us about SCA fundraisers such as Box Tops, which are now on an App. Check your student’s Wednesday folder for how to download it to your phone so you can scan your receipts instead of having to cut out Box Tops from cereal boxes and tissue boxes. I needed a little help to download the App last night and I was still able to download it and select Beech Tree within five minutes!

I also reminded parents about our September Family Field Trip. Please be sure to RSVP if you and your family are able to join us on Saturday, September 28th. We will go the National Museum of the American Indian. Buses will leave from our school at 9:30 am. I can’t wait to see you!

I hope your children are sharing their love of learning when they go home! We love to hear them explain their thinking! Please share some anecdotal stories with us. We like to know that our students are happy, engaged and learning!

Here’s a link about the Fall Festival this weekend in Falls Church VA:
