A huge thank you to our incredible PTSA for another magical Gingerbread Shoppe!
Each year, our amazing PTSA and parent volunteers transform this tradition into something truly special. They guide our students as they thoughtfully choose little gifts and trinkets to show appreciation for the people they love—and the joy on our students’ faces says it all.
We are so grateful for the time, care, and heart that goes into making this event happen year after year, creating memories our students will cherish.
Thank you, PTSA, for filling our school with kindness, generosity, and cheer! #WeAreDR

We’re proud to celebrate our ongoing partnership with Special Olympics and the Unified Schools Program! 💚💛 Today, the Beckwith Believers joined us for an afternoon of connection, teamwork, and fun. Our students spent time getting to know one another through icebreaker games, lots of laughter, and plenty of cheering. We wrapped things up with a friendly round of indoor bocce, and wow, did our athletes shine! We had an absolute blast and can’t wait for our next Unified event. Partnerships like this make our community stronger, more inclusive, and endlessly inspiring.

The competition was fierce, the stakes were high, and the bragging rights were VERY real… but Mrs. Wright’s students emerged victorious in the ultimate Sight-Word Rock, Paper, Scissors Battle this afternoon!
Who knew spelling sight words could feel like the championship round of an indoor rainy-day Olympics?
Such a fun (and surprisingly intense!) way to learn and stay entertained on a gloomy afternoon!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who sponsored a bit of ☀️sunshine☀️ for our staff on conference day (and night!). Your kindness truly brightened their long day and was such a thoughtful treat.
And a very special thank you to our sunshine fairies — Mrs. DiPalma and Ms. MacLean — for delivering these surprises with so much care. We are deeply grateful. 💚
