Terra Linda Elementary Teacher Appreciation

yolanda
Be sure to watch the delightful video created to highlight Yolanda’s project!

Yolanda, a 5th grader at Terra Linda Elementary, talks about how she came up with the idea to create teacher appreciation cards. She was able to enlist the help of her fellow students to show just how much they care about their teachers. As a result, hundreds of student-made cards were created and handed out.

See the video here on the BSD site.

It will be open to anyone interested in supporting ACMA or winning a wonderful basket donated by our many local community sponsors (especially within the Beaverton School District). Auction winners are announced and notified on June 8. 

Basket themes include dog, cat wellness spa, gardening, breweries and sports, wine baskets, date night, reading, coffee, tea, beach weekend, wine tasting, wine club, and many more. The fundraising event is our annual event to raise money for next year’s programs, such as dance, theatre, film, jazz, orchestra, choir, band, photography, and other art forms.

Bonny Slope Elementary Jog-a-thon

Monday, May 3-Sunday, May 9

Bonny Slope Community Organization is looking forward to bringing back one of Bonny Slope Elementary’s favorite events with this year’s Jog-a-thon! Although it may look a little different than in the past, it will get our students moving and having fun—all while helping support our great school. To participate, register on our school Pledgestar page, create your students fundraising account, and log their miles during the week of the Jog-a-thon. Once registered, your jogger will be automatically entered into the weekly prize raffles just for creating an account. Fundraising efforts begin now!

There are four designated routes for the students to run/walk throughout the BSE community. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children in this always-memorable event.

There will be exciting prizes up for grabs this year, including an OMSI React-o-Blast virtual demonstration, a Play.Fit.Fun outdoor event at BSE, dinner for six, swag at The Helvetia Tavern, a Family Game Night at Top Golf, Nalgene water bottles, and many more.

We are also happy to announce we have included the Pre-K students in this year’s event.

See the Bonny Slope BSCO page for route maps, details on how donations are utilized, matching funds information, and FAQs. We look forward to seeing your students participate in this year’s week-long Jog-a-thon!
