Happy Fun Run Day!

Today was such a beautiful day for the Fun Run! Our Fun Run would not be possible without the many, many parent volunteers who sign up to help. A very special thank you for everything you did to make today amazing for our students, staff, and school community. We appreciate you!

Thanks to the hard work of our students and the generosity of our school community, our students raised $26,964 for the Fun Run! This money goes directly back to students and staff and supports such programs as 5th grade camp, field trips, assemblies, and so much more! The Kona Ice truck will also be visiting our students next week!

We look forward to seeing our families again next Thursday from 5-8 and Friday from 8-4 for Parent Teacher Conferences.

Have a great weekend!

Proud to be your principal,

Shamika

Join the Berkley Education Foundation (BEF) for its inaugural BEF Open,

an X-Golf Tournament, November 8, 7-10 pm.

Every dollar the BEF raises supports teacher innovation-grants, the free student enrichment program, student scholarships and the 8th grade college tour.

Guests will have the chance to support the BEF by playing a round of golf, being a spectator, playing golf-related games for prizes and sponsoring a game. Golfers, in teams of four, will have the chance to play 18 holes at X-Golf on a world-renowned course. Teams will play an alternate ball style game and enjoy hot dogs at the turn. The team with the lowest score will win the grand prize. Only 9 teams are left - reserve your team before they sell out. Teams can utilize mulligans and sabotages to help their scores.

Golfers can also enter the Longest Drive contest, Closest to the Pin contest and Putting Challenge. Winners take home big prizes.

Not a golfer? Come for a Friday night out!

Enjoy an evening out, courtesy of the BEF, as a spectator. For those who are not avid golfers, don't want to commit to playing 18, or have never swung a club, stop in and enjoy the party. Spectator tickets are $25/person and include appetizers, hot dogs and an opportunity to play in the individual golf competitions.
