School Family
Our hearts are with Mrs. Grace Ritzema, our grade 5 teacher, and her family as they mourn the death of her father, Mr. Peter deVries. Please pray with us for comfort for his wife, Wilma, for Grace and her family, and for William and Janet deVries and their family. Mr. Peter deVries has been a valued volunteer and member of Beacon for many, many years and we celebrate, and are thankful for, the gifts he so willingly shared. Visitation is scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, March 10th at Trinity CRC from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral to be held Thursday morning. Time is unknown at this point.
March Break – begins Friday at 3:15!
… and students return at 8:30 on Monday, March 22. We wish all our families a refreshing, safe and blessed holiday. May we all come back ready to tackle the last term with renewed vigor, vitality and passion!
February Was Registration Month, but…
… if you, or someone you know, would like to register for any grade level, JK – 12, please do so as soon as possible. We have a continual “open house” mentality, and will give tours any time!
Beacon Covenant
Please pray for the upcoming Beacon Covenant mail and phone campaign (formerly known as the Tuition Reduction Drive). We are working towards filling our annual fundraising need for 2009 - 2010. You can expect to hear from us via letter or through our phone campaign which will take place on April 12 and 13. We would appreciate your support both in prayer and financially as these visits and calls are made. Please contact Yvonne Weaver at Beacon Christian Schools if you would like a personal visit.

Yvonne W will be available in the morning (Mon-Thurs) or contact Yvonne R at (905)-562-3936. I have been busy sending out emails and letters to everyone that purchased gift certificates over the past six months with your personal earnings:
The Beacon Rewards Program would like to say thank you for purchasing gift certificates to raise funds to support Beacon Christian Schools and our families.
Our records show that in the last six months (September 2009 through February 2010):
Gross sales were over $555,712.00, generating a profit of $25,210.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND MAKE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE!!
Did you know?? If you make a purchase at the Office Depot, Beacon Christian Schools can benefit.
All you need to do is let the cashier know that you support Beacon Christian Schools and a certain percent comes back to us!
Did you know?? The National Grocer on Bunting Road accepts Zehrs gift certificates
