What We Do
We do a lot of great stuff throughout the year, in support of the school’s goals and our JVF families. We organize initiatives ranging from in-school assemblies to family fun nights to fundraisers and book fairs. In addition, we provide support for teachers’ classroom requests, including A/V equipment, books, and other supplemental materials.
​
Some of our recent flagship initiatives include:
-
School Beautification: Creating a hallway mural with local artist Joe Pimentel and refreshing the playground pavement with colorful painted games and paths
-
Milestone Events: Welcoming new JVF families and celebrating those moving up to middle school
-
Teacher Appreciation: Organizing an annual teacher appreciation lunch
-
Family Fun Nights: Hosting activities for the whole family
-
Springfest: Outdoor family fun day with activities, music, and games
-
Gardening Programs: Running taste tests with Land to Learn
-
School Spirit: Participating in the Spirit of Beacon Day, promoting Spirit Weeks, and running spirit wear fundraisers
-
Student Support: Providing school supplies and funding support for field trips and other activities
-
Fundraisers and Community Drives: Raising money to help the school and organizing pantry and coat drives to help those in need
