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

Our Junior Kindergarten builders took on a SWEET STEM challenge this week!
Using jelly beans and toothpicks, students worked hard to design and build cozy homes for their Peeps. What looked easy at first quickly turned into a fun challenge—but these kiddos didn’t give up! Check out their amazing builds! 🍬✨

Our Jr. K students used their fine motor skills to build adorable (and delicious!) nests with pretzels and jelly beans. 🐣🪺

Read Across America Week in JrK! 📚✨ We had a special visit from our principal, Mrs. Ryken, who joined us as a guest reader. Students had so much fun reading in blanket forts, grabbing flashlights, and curling up with books alongside their friends. So many smiles, stories, and cozy reading moments this Fun Friday! 🔦📖

Fun Friday in JrK! 🎨✨ We painted with watercolors, made bracelets, built amazing creations, colored bookmarks, and got nice and slimy with our oobleck experiment inspired by Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss! 💚 It was hands-on, messy, and full of learning!

We love being able to lower the hoops down for our future Bucks and Gazelles at TLC. The Kindergarteners now can successfully shoot baskets in Mrs. Tramp's Physical Education classes!
