BELL FUND DRIVE

SEP29 to OCT10 EXTENDED till OCT15!!!

Beckford's Annual BELL Fund Drive is here! The BELL Fund is a "direct ask" donation program run by the Beckford PTA: families are asked to donate a certain amount per student, and 100% of the proceeds go toward direct funding of critical school needs. Contributions are tax deductible, and eliminates the need for sales-based fundraisers that only provide our school a small percentage of funds raised.
