Beck Academy International Day is only weeks away! Thursday, March 23 – All Day! (Each social studies class will participate during class time) Place: the Beck Academy gymnasium This year we are focusing on 2 regions in the world: Australia and Asia (India, Japan, China, Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Dubai, Iran). Our intent is to allow all of our Beck Academy students to “experience” these regions with their 5 senses. We will have games, activities, music, posters, food sampling and crafts to educate our students in each of these regions! We need help to make this happen! Please go ahead and start bringing things in. NEEDS:
Please bring any artifacts from the countries above to Dr. Toney’s office where she will store them un-til March 23. You or your child/student can drop these by her office. Your artifacts used for Interna-tional Day will be returned. We are in great need of display items! If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Toney ([email protected] or 355-1423)
Volunteers are needed to help at each activity. The shifts are 8:15am–11:45am and 11:45 am–3:15 pm. Please contact Tammy Dantin at [email protected] or Janet Schultz at [email protected]
Volunteers are needed to set up on Wednesday, March 22 at 3:30 pm. Contact Tammy Dantin at [email protected] or Janet Schultz at [email protected]
Any financial donations are greatly appreciated to help purchase items needed for this day. You may send donations to Beck Academy – give to Mrs. Donovan in the front office to give to Dr. Toney.
Please look for the Sign-Up Genius on Beck’s website next week to volunteer or to buy specific food items for the event.
Thank you, Dr. Vicky Toney Tammy Dantin Janet Schultz
