Bearrington Academy
for
Success and Excellence
Congratulations to our Fall Fundraiser winners: Thank you for your donations of canned goods for Lilly Grove Baptist Church. The students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade loaded all of the food into the bus then traveled to Lilly Grove. Mr. Brandon Smith, father of Jocelyn Smith, coordinated the time for the drop-off. When we arrived, Mr. Smith, Reverend Burkley, Minister of Outreach, Reverend Washington, Associate Pastor and members of Lilly Grove, met the children at the bus. The children took the canned goods into the church, talked for a few minutes and took a picture. Before we left, Reverend Burkley prayed with us. The children felt so good to perform this act of kindness. Reverend Burkley sent a nice letter thanking Bearrington. The letter is posted on the front bulletin board. We have decided to have a year-round food drive and stock the canned goods in our mini food pantry. Once each month we will deliver the food to Lilly Grove as a part of our mission to make life a better place for those who are in need.

Adopt-A-Classroom
Bearrington is now registered with Adopt-A-Classroom. This organization invites the community into the classroom in support of teachers and their students. By adopting a classroom, donors form partnerships with specific classrooms providing financial and moral support. The result is a meaningful contribution to education in which donors experience the impact of their efforts and celebrate in a classroom's success.
