Middle School Extended Day Programs
Now in its 15th year, the Safe and Sound for Student Success (S4) program offered by BEF continued its vital work in the 2024-25 school year. Eight middle schools participated, serving 1,184 middle school students with an extended school day with access to extracurricular coupled with academic accountability.
Beaverton Band Together
Since 2014, Beaverton Education Foundation’s Beaverton Band Together initiative has expanded musical education for students in all Beaverton public schools, from providing musical instruments and performance opportunities to opening their minds to new genres, artists, and experiences.
Braemar Charitable Trust
Through a gift from the Braemar Charitable Trust, BEF helps middle school students access school music. Grant funds are helping repair band instruments so that students can learn to play regardless of their ability to buy or rent instruments and to support “sectionals,” during which small groups of beginning band students get focused attention to learn their instruments.
Middle School Summer Band Camp
BEF makes Middle School Summer Band Camp affordable for everyone by providing financial support that served 240 students this summer with a two-week intensive musical experience.
