BEF Day of Gratitude: October 3

Beaverton Education Foundation (BEF) Day of Gratitude on Saturday, October 3, brings together students from Beaverton School District high schools to call and thank BEF donors for their past support of Beaverton students. During the Day of Gratitude, students will call donors and simply say, “Thank you!”

14 Teams, 19,000 Planks, One Beaverton Community

Thank you, BEF Board Chair Chris Prahl

In his year as Board Chair, Chris Prahl led with an instinct for bringing partners together to build a stronger, more resilient Beaverton. BEF is grateful for Chris' leadership and for always showing up, opening doors to new partnerships, and leaving things better than he found them.

Beaverton Students Show Up for Civics

Beaverton Education Foundation was proud to partner with the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce to connect teachers, students, and business and community leaders around something that matters: preparing young people to be informed, engaged members of the community through the first-ever Beaverton Civics Bee.

Welcoming Dr. Tony Smith to Beaverton

Dr. Smith has already expressed his desire to "look, listen, and learn," prioritizing building trust and partnering with the community to ensure every student is supported and challenged. We look forward to partnering with him to ensure all 37,000+ Beaverton students have the opportunity to reach their highest potential.

Thank you, Classified Staff, for Helping Our Schools Run Smoothly

We love this time of year when we get to let our classified staff -- bus drivers, librarians, custodians, and all the people who make the school day special -- know they are appreciated! When you make a gift to BEF, we'll send a personal card letting them know a gift was made in their honor by you.

Calling all future leaders in Beaverton!

Know a student in grade 6-8? They're invited to participate in the National Civics Bee in Beaverton. Deadline to submit a National Civics Bee application (a short essay) is Tuesday, February 17, 2026 by 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time — so don’t wait! Let’s cheer on our young civics stars in Beaverton as they dive into democracy, leadership, and community problem-solving.
