Dear Beech Tree Families,
I want to extend warm wishes to all those who celebrated Eid al-Fitr. We hope your Eid was filled with joy, peace, and togetherness with loved ones.
It's been another fantastic week here at Beech Tree! Our classrooms have been lively with enthusiastic learning and our students continue to grow as we finish out the last couple months of the school year.
As a reminder, tomorrow we have our family field trip to the Udvar-Hazy Center. The buses will leave Beech Tree at exactly 9:30 a.m. We are excited for a day of learning and fun together!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
With appreciation,
Principal Clarke
