TESD ENCOURAGES RESIDENT INVOLVEMENT IN OPPOSING PROPERTY TAX ELIMINATION
At the January 23, 2017 School Board meeting, the Tredyffrin/Easttown School Board adopted a resolution opposing legislation that would eliminate school property taxes. This proposal is currently being considered by state legislators and, if passed, has the potential to leave schools dramatically underfunded by eliminating property taxes and replacing them with increases in personal income tax and sales tax, which are subject to shortfalls during economic downturns. Click here for more detailed information.

CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS
 The 2nd Grade Classes celebrated Chinese New Year this week with a visit from Master Hou-Tien Cheng (Paper Cutter), who has been visiting Beaumont for over 10+ years. It's remarkable that Master Cheng does the paper-cutting in free-form, without any prior sketching on the paper. If parents would like to purchase Master Cheng's art work which starts at $5.00, you may email him directly to place an order. Celebrations continued with a Chinese New Year Parade where all the students wore handmade lion masks and walked with their noise makers.
