Bessie Coleman Boosters - November 2026

Hi BCE Volunteers & Boosters,

Happy November! Family Math and Game Night is just a week away (November 10), and we need volunteers to make it happen. Even one shift helps, and you’ll get to see the fun up close. Sign up HERE.

Not able to volunteer? You can still support our school every time you shop at Fred Meyer by linking your Rewards card to the Bessie Coleman Boosters through Community Rewards, at no extra cost to you. Sign up HERE.

Thank you for all you do for our school. More highlights, volunteer opportunities and information about our upcoming meeting below!

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

Stepping Stones:

Our kindergarten and 6th grade families have teamed up on a Stepping Stones Project for our school and the Boosters are proud to have helped fund it. Here’s a peek at some of the stones that were created. See them for yourself next to the playground building side of BCE!

Spook-tacular Soups:

Our Boosters families filled the staff breakroom with homemade soups during conference days, giving our hardworking teachers and staff a warm, home-cooked lunch. Thank you to everyone who stirred up a pot to share!

UPCOMING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Family Math and Game Night

Family Math and Game Night is coming up on Tuesday, November 10, 6–7 p.m. at BCE and we need volunteers to help make it happen!

Sign up to Volunteer HERE.

Come celebrate all things math! We'll have interactive games for kids and families at all math levels, plus a Math Gadget "Petting Zoo" where you can try out different calculators, math tools, and games.

Have a cool math gadget or game you'd like to share? An abacus, a slide rule, a sweet calculator? Show it off at our Math Gadget Petting Zoo! Just label it with your name so we can get it back to you. No need to sign up, just bring it with you.

Please note: Math Night is not a drop-off event. Adults are expected to stay and supervise their child(ren).

Staff Appreciation for December

Thanks to everyone that contributed to the Spooktacular Soups last week! It was a complete success and the staff were so appreciative for not having to worry about cooking during the busy conference times!

For November, the Boosters will be showering the staff with goodies right before the Thanksgiving break but December will be here before you know it and we could use your help spreading the holiday cheer!

We’re collecting cookies, coffee, creamers, and other goodies to brighten their day on Tuesday, December 8th!

Sign up HERE.
