Thanks to the work of Maria Nitsche, Beye PTO
Fundraising Chairperson
and Julia Evans, Marketing and Community Relations Specialist at Whole
Foods,
Beye Discovery scholarship students will benefit from donations given by
Whole
Foods patrons via the “dime-a-bag” program. For the months of October,
November, and December, patrons can bring any re-useable bag to Whole
Foods to carry groceries home and donate the dimes they are given
to benefit the Beye Discovery
scholarship fund!
To promote awareness of the Beye Discovery program with
Whole Foods patrons, our students were busy creating functional and decorative items such as pencil cases, toys, games and
wearable art that was show cased in a workshop on November 11th.
A number of patrons made donations and in return, Beye Discovery
students gave them a choice of items created at the workshop to take
home in
appreciation! A big thank you to all the students who devoted their time
before and during the event to promote Beye Discovery and scholarship
contributions!!!
Please be sure to scroll down to see photos of the students at work prior to the actual workshop!
