Community Service
During the school year, the Community Service committee will conduct a wide variety of charitable activities for students and families to participate in benefiting different causes and organizations in our area. We hope you will find an event or activity that interests you and your family– but please do not feel obligated to participate in every community service event. We appreciate your generosity at any time throughout the year.
MCPS Advocacy
The BES Cluster Representatives and MCCPTA Representatives collaborate with their counterparts from other schools to advocate on issues impacting the Whitman Cluster and MCPS. To this end, the Whitman Cluster periodically corresponds and meets with MCPS and the Board of Education. Representative gather information about what is happening across the school system to share with BES PTA members and provide our perspective during discussions at the county level. Representatives from the Whitman Cluster also testify at public hearings before the MCPS Board of Education and Montgomery County Council on MCPS’s Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets.
