Principal of the Day- Hannah Allen
Today Principal Hannah walked around classes with me and she decided to ask students about what they were learning this week so that she could learn more about what students do in different grade levels.
Lunch with the Principal
It has been a pleasure having lunch with our Beach Haven students. We had a chance to get to know each other more, talk about our code of conduct/school rules, student leadership opportunities, student voice and choice in the things we do throughout the year, having a growth mindset to push ourselves outside our comfort zone to grow, and goals for improving their schooling experience. We have Kindergarten and Preschool next week. We will continue to meet throughout the year to team up for success.

P.T.A. Thank you!
Hello! We just wanted to send out a huge thank you to those that came out and helped the PTA over the weekend with our back to back fundraisers.
A big shout out to Ksenya, Kristin & Melanie for parking cars on Saturday. With the help of Julia, Jackson, Van, Wynn, Finley, Emma and Alex, we were able to raise $3,443 in one day!
Our Spirit wear table for the weekend manned by Kristen, Julia & Jackson Baumiller, Kristin Bekelja, Suzanne Henry and Javi made $80 in sales plus some generous donations went into the PTA jar!
Our Craft Fair brought in $1,130 and vendors were thankful for the efforts of Ben Russo holding a sign up on the Boulevard encouraging shoppers to come to the fair! Thanks Ben!
We are not a big school, but the price tag we pay for events, assemblies, the play, family fun night and all of the things the PTA provides to your children remains the same. We pay just as much as a larger school with a larger cash flow. Every penny counts for the BH P.T.A. to continue to provide the extras we do every year to help make Beach Haven School the best it can be!
We understand that not everyone has the time to volunteer and help and that is okay, but we need donations to replenish our budget for the 2024-2025 school year and beyond. All generous donations will be accepted, so if you can't donate your time, please consider making a donation to the BH P.T.A.
Thank you again to those listed above, without you we would not have made $4,653 this past weekend!
