Beecher City CUSD 20

☕✨ What a way to wrap up the week at Beecher City Grade School! Our incredible teachers were surprised this morning with lattes and lemonades from 7 Brew — and let's just say the smiles said it all! 🙌

A HUGE thank you to Effingham's 7 Brew for the treats, and a special shoutout to Makenzee Doty for picking them up and delivering them to our staff. Little surprises like this go a long way in showing our teachers how much they're appreciated!

Thank you for investing in our Bobcats family! 🐾💙

Tomorrow, Friday, Aug. 28th is picture day at Beecher City Jr. Sr. High School. Students will have their pictures taken, and order forms will be sent out at a later date. Retakes are set for Tuesday, September 15th, if a student is absent.

🐾 Star Student of the Week! 🐾

Congratulations to Coy M., a 5th grader in Miss Tedrick's class, on being named this week's Star Student! Coy kicked off the school year by leading by example — consistently following our PAWS expectations (Take Pride, Act Responsibly, Make Wise Choices, Show Respect) and making a fantastic first impression on staff and classmates alike.

We're proud of the leadership you're already showing, Coy — keep it up! 🔵🔴

Way to go, Bobcats! #BeecherCityBobcats #StarStudent #PAWSitiveLeadership

The first full week of school is in the books, and it has been busy. Students have been participating in tree id, Chopped - art edition, coloring cells, reading, and PE outside. Also, we have added sneak peek pictures of the east end hallway and gym floor (panoramic picture).

Attention Grade School Parents:

If your child is a parent pick-up student, they'll be bringing home a letter today along with a yellow or pink card labeled with your last name. Please take a moment to read through the letter, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

I'm confident this small change will help our pick-up line move faster and keep our students even safer.

Dental bus forms will be sent home with students today or tomorrow. If you are interested in your student receiving dental services, please fill out forms and have them turned into the office by Aug. 28th.

JH Softball, JH Baseball, HS Baseball, and HS Golf will have pictures taken at BCHS Thursday, Aug. 20th. Please have students bring their uniforms tomorrow.
