Where Your Support Goes

Every event on this page is powered by The Bessie Coleman Boosters. Here's a look at what that support has already meant for our staff and students.

First Day Coffee Bar: Our teachers and staff started the year with a coffee bar funded by the Boosters.

Teacher Classroom Grants: The Boosters have designated $200 per teacher this year for classroom supplies, learning tools, and special activities that directly support our students.

Bessie Coleman Bike Bus: Student riders pedal to school together safely, led by our fantastic volunteer ride leaders.

Sweet Treats for the Picnic: Cookies for everyone at the Back to School Picnic, to welcome families back.

Get Involved

Every event runs on volunteers — parents, grandparents, and friends of Bessie Coleman Elementary pitching in however they can. Big or small, your time makes a difference.
