1000 Words


Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. 
-Dorothea Lange

They say a picture is worth 1000 words.  Good thing we have been taking so many photos!  We've been busy at Beacons this winter, and have been documenting the fun along the way.

Check out our photos from the end of Fall Session and the beginning of Winter Session.

Also, a couple of housekeeping notes to keep in mind:

1.  Please notify the Beacons office (612.668.5003) AND your child’s teacher of any transportation changes (i.e. early pick up, etc).  The sooner you notify us, the better!

2.   Homework help is available for all Beacons students, immediately after school.

3.  We welcome family and community volunteers.  Please stop by the office or give us a call to learn more.
