Beadle Elementary is collecting photos to celebrate Beadle’s 100th birthday. We are very interested in any photographs from the earlier years of Beadle School, but we will accept photographs from all years. The photos will be used for a slide show of Beadle’s history next fall, when we have an Open House on Sept. 22, 2026. We invite you to upload photos to the link provided. For those not able to upload, they can bring their photos to Beadle, and we will upload them for you. We encourage former staff or family of former staff members to upload a staff photo, including the years they worked at Beadle. Thank you for your submissions and for helping celebrate Beadle’s history. They can be uploaded at this link: https://bit.ly/4uk4ov9
