Food Donations Wanted

Starting November 5 BAS is working with the Beltsville community in making Thanksgiving baskets for less fortunate families. We hope that your family will be generous in making donations of can goods and non-perishable foods to assist us in this worthwhile project. Our goal is to get 1,000 can goods or non-perishable foods by November 16. Donations may be left in the box at the front door of the school.

Fruit Orders

The deadline to order Navel oranges, grapefruit and tangerines is Monday, November 5 and pick-up will be Sunday, November 18. Please call your order into 301-937-7478 for fresh and delicious fruit.

Café Accounts

We understand that you have no way of knowing your child’s café account balance unless we contact you or you contact the office. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope that you will continue to work with us to maintain a positive balance in the lunch account.

The café system was never intended to be used as a credit system. The expectation is that students’ meals are paid for before they are received. If you are informed that your child’s account is in the negative, we would expect funds to be placed on the account before any more lunches are received.

Lost And Found

Now that the weather is changing, more coats, jackets, sweatshirts, hats etc. are brought into the school, but they are also left here. Please make sure your child’s name is on his/her jacket. This will make it easier for us to identify who it belongs to.

We Recycle Inkjet Cartridges

Our school is asking for your participation in our fund raising recycling program. If you use an inkjet printer at home or at work, place your empty cartridge in a zip lock bag and turn it in at the office. BAS receives cash for each cartridge you send us.
