Help support all Beverly Public Schools, our teachers and their students through the Beverly Education Foundation’s “Honor A Teacher”. A “Teacher” includes all exemplary educators including teachers, paraprofessionals, ESP, librarians, support staff, janitors, etc…

About the Beverly Education Foundation: Our mission is to enhance and improve the education experience of our students and to provide additional professional development for our faculty. These efforts will aid the children to become more flexible in thought and more active members of society. Chose from three ways to “HONOR A TEACHER” to fund quality educational opportunities:

A: TEACHER WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE: With a donation of $25.00 or more made in the name of that special teacher, a certificate will be sent to the teacher indicating both the donation in their name as well as how
important they have been in the student’s or your life. Please feel free to attach comments to your donation about why you chose to honor this teacher. A copy will be sent to the Beverly Public Schools to communicate how important that person is to Beverly Public Schools.

B: HONOR A TEACHER: With a donation of $10.00 or more made in the name of the teacher honored, a card will be sent to the teacher indicating your thanks for all the time, effort and caring they have given your child
throughout the year.

C: IN MEMORIAM: A thoughtful way to let the families of deceased students, teachers and administrators know that their loved ones have made a difference in Beverly education (donation of $15.00 or more).

Remember that no matter what level of support you choose – every dollar counts. Kindly have your donation in no later than June 7, 2013. Acknowledgements & certificates will be distributed on June 12, 2013.

Worldwide International Student Exchange is a non-profit educational program. We are looking for Host Families for about 30 students that are coming from Spain.  Hosting a student is a rewarding experience for the whole family!  Here is some info:

• Students can share a room with your child of the same gender
• Students are ages 14-18 years old
• Students have a structured program each day from 9-5 with English classes and field trips
• Students come with their own spending money
• All of the students speak English. You do not need to speak Spanish
• Students only want to experience an American family.  There is no need to run around making sure the students see everything as they will be doing a great deal of this with the program. We only ask that you make them part of your family.
• Families help each other with rides, pick-up, etc. So we can most likely work out any issues you may have with that.
• This is an amazing opportunity to experience a different culture!

Please think about this wonderful opportunity.
Spanish program beings June 30 – July 27
