Welcoming Back Our Students

Welcoming Back Our Students

“Welcome Back!”

Words we have been waiting to hear for so long.

Our teachers are gearing up to welcome students back to Beaverton classrooms, and our students are eager to return.

Even with life not quite back to normal,  welcoming our students back to school provides a familiar comfort for all of us. An invitation to come in, sit down and begin again – an opportunity to rediscover the joy of learning and exploration.

For our teachers and staff, back to school means preparing differently than in the past. Many programs, projects and supplies that our creative teachers and staff have envisioned cannot be paid for with normal school funding. Working together, we can give our educators and students the resources they need to launch a new year in a new way.

You can help welcome our students back!

With your help today, we can ensure that the transition back to school is as smooth as possible. Our collective goal: get kids ready and back to school.

Let’s work together to give our students, our educators and our school communities the resources to make this year successful. Whether that’s supporting outreach efforts to reconnect students to school, innovative ideas to create engaging classroom activities, or specialized supplies to ensure all students have tools for learning — each school needs something different, and with your support, we can help provide it.

Why give to Beaverton Education Foundation

We connect community and classrooms. Since 1988, BEF has helped Beaverton School District educators access community resources for innovative classroom projects, afterschool and summer programs and classroom supplies. Our support fills in gaps that cannot be covered with district funding but are important to a high-quality education. We fund many of the programs you know and love about your schools. 

BEF believes great teaching and the right resources can spark students’ interests and passions. Our mission is to ensure Beaverton School District students thrive and to prepare them for their brightest future. We empower bottom-up educational transformation by turning teachers’ ideas into powerful solutions that benefit thousands of students and advance equitable education.
