πŸŽ‰ Want to help make magic happen for Beacon City School District students?

The Foundation for Beacon Schools is gearing up for our 5th Annual Gala β€” and we're looking for passionate volunteers to help us pull it off! Whether you love working behind the scenes, have a knack for social media, or want to connect with local businesses, there's a role for you.

Join us at our volunteer informational meeting to learn more, ask questions, and sign up!
πŸ“… June 18 πŸ• 7:30 πŸ“ TBD - we'll let you know!

Here's what we need:
πŸ“‹ Communications (1–2 volunteers)
Keep our team connected and on track! You'll take notes at meetings and make sure everyone has the information they need to do their part.
πŸ“£ Social Media & Promotion (1–2 volunteers)
Have a following, love making content, or just get excited about celebrating schools? Help us spread the word and build buzz around the gala!
🀝 Donor & Sponsor Liaisons (1–2 volunteers)

🏫 School Liaisons (6+ volunteers β€” one per school!)

Aaaaaaand CUT! That's a wrap for the 2026 BCSD Student Film Fest! Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor The Beacon Movie Theater for hosting all of the filmmakers and their fans during last night's premiere! We are so amazed by the creativity and talent of the students in the Beacon City School District. Huge thanks to ALL of the volunteers - especially our BHS students who helped throughout the events (shout out to Carmelo and Cole for stepping in to be our red carpet interviewers)! Please continue to support Foundation for Beacon Schools, Inc. by becoming a monthly sustaining donor - even $5/month helps! Hey - that's cheaper than a bag of candy! Thank you to everyone! FIN.
