New Big Blue Challenge! 💙 If we can reach $30,000 in sales by Friday at noon, everyone will get to dress down and wear blue on Monday, September 16! If you haven’t started or sold anything yet, you can still help us hit the goal by selling just ONE raffle ticket ($5) by Friday! The cut-off time is noon on Friday, so there’s still time to make a difference. Who’s ready to show off their school spirit and help us win? Let’s go!

Keep it up, Blue Knights! 🎉 We're challenging each student to sell at least $50 in tickets for our big fundraiser at Beck! Your support helps fund all of our amazing projects, and there are awesome prizes up for grabs! 💙

Today is your last chance to hit that $5 goal and score a FREE ice pop at lunch tomorrow! 😋💙 And that’s not all… tomorrow is our very first Fabulous Friday of the school year! 🙌🎉 Don’t miss out on the fun—let’s finish the week strong! 💪

🌟 New Challenge Alert 🌟

This week’s challenge is ON! We're challenging you to sell a minimum of $5 worth of raffle tickets by Thursday. Those who complete the challenge will earn a FREE ice pop at lunch this Friday!

Let's make this week just as awesome! Good luck, everyone!

As we head into our first weekend of fundraising, we’d like to issue a challenge to all students! The top 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade homerooms with the highest sales over the long weekend will each win a treat next week. Additionally, the student in each grade with the highest sales will win a $10 Chick-fil-A gift card!

We're excited to announce that this year we're using a new fundraising platform, RallyUp! This platform allows each student to create and share their own personal fundraising page, making it easier than ever to get involved.

We have 9 amazing packages up for grabs, including two last-minute additions:

$1,500 Voucher towards comprehensive orthodontic treatment from Palmetto Family Orthodontics &
Furman Paladin Football Tailgate Package for 16 people, complete with full VIP treatment.
Remember, each package is just $5 per 10 chances to win!

Don't forget, prizes will also be awarded to both students and homerooms based on donations received throughout the fundraiser. So keep an eye on our socials for important updates and opportunities to support our school!

Today’s the day! We’re thrilled to kick off our BIG BLUE FUNDRAISER starting today, Friday, August 30th!

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we’re counting on everyone to join in. Students will be selling $5 raffle tickets online for a chance to win AMAZING prizes—no cash sales this year! We’ve got even bigger and more exciting raffle packages lined up!

Students can also earn prizes based on the number of tickets they sell, and all proceeds will directly benefit Beck.

Flyers with more details will be sent home with your student today, so don’t forget to check their backpacks! Thank you for your support of Beck PTSA!

I know that we have been focused on our students the past week but I wanted to share some staff celebrations.

We attended the Teacher of the Year breakfast on Tuesday to celebrate Katie Sutton as our 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year. In addition, Kamin Bond was nominated as the Emerging Teacher of the Year.

Later in the day, Katie Bailey was recognized as the Outstanding School Counselor for 2024.
