In addition to our regular Beaverton’s Choice opportunities in April, BEF recognized the quick transition staff members were asked to make for In-Person Hybrid Learning. We asked what you needed and you answered, submitting requests to support over 7,800 students across the District. From microphones and speakers to PE equipment and art supplies, classroom needs varied by class and school and BEF responded. Requests averaged around $230, with some as modest as $25. Read more about small requests making a BIG impact!

Thanks to your generous contributions, the dollars raised are invested in programs and projects at Beaverton schools that otherwise would not be possible. For current programs, and to begin your application, please visit Beaverton’s Choice, the hub that brings community and classrooms together.
