You did it! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve reached our goal of $45,000 raised through Pledge for Paws! It’s been an amazing response and we’re so grateful for how this community has come together to support our teachers, students and families.
There’s always more we can do to maintain a thriving school, so we don’t want to stop now! If you haven’t yet contributed, we’re continuing the campaign through Giving Tuesday, Nov. 28. And we’re offering grade level participation prizes:
Congratulations to Nicholas Mangiaracina for winning this week’s raffle prize of front row seating for his family at 5th grade graduation! Contribute today to continue our meaningful impact on students, teachers and staff!
Our fourth grade students spent several weeks of classroom learning preparing for an unforgettable experience at Junior Achievement’s simulated city, BizTown. Students had the chance to discover careers, build financial skills, collaborate with classmates, exercise civic duties, invest in the community, and more! Special thanks to our 4th grade teaching team, attending staff and volunteers for helping make this an experience BCE 4th graders will draw on for the rest of their lives.
Thanks to your generosity, BCE’s fall fundraising campaign has raised more than $40,000 – wow! We’re getting closer to our goal of $45,000 to support a thriving community through academic enrichment programs, staff appreciation, campus improvements, family engagement events, and so much more!
We’re just two months into the school year and we’ve already enjoyed Rising Kindergartners Popsicle Play Date, Donuts with MOBC, Boy’s Choice Night, two Parent Socials, MOBC Movie Night, and Fall Parties, all brought to you by the PTA. And we’re just getting started! Consider a tax-deductible donation to ensure we can offer opportunities to connect our students and families.
Congratulations to Audrey Hunt for winning this week’s raffle of a Charlotte Knights prize pack!
