Hi Bobcats! Frankie is feeling "so good" about starting K at Becker. His older brother Victor is going into 3rd grade so we are lucky to be familiar with this incredible school and community. Frankie describes himself as "very wrestley, loves eating candy while watching screens and inventing games with my friends."  He is quick to tell anyone that Becker Bobcats never give up. We are grateful to be part of the community!

Hola Becker familia! We are the Neff family, and our son Thomas is so excited to be attending Becker. Why? "Because they have chickens."

Mom Stirling, Dad Josh, and sister Elizabeth look forward to meeting you all, and we can't wait to start practicing more Spanish at home.

Hi everyone! Me llamo Cora. I live with my mom, dad, brother (Link - 2.5 years), Bonkers the cat, chickens Hei Hei 1 & Hei Hei 2 in 78745. I currently attend Habibi’s Hutch where I love making art. My art often features unicorns, rainbows, pegasusses, flowers, butterflies and bald eagles. I also like playing family, eating paletas, riding my bike, reading Ivy & Bean books, listening to the Lion King sound track and watching Frozen 2. I’m a bit scared about attending Becker.

Hi all! We are the Loyola’s (Robert, LeAnn, Zoë and baby Zayn). We are entering year two of Becker with Zoë being a rising kindergartener. Some of her favorite things including painting, cooking and lending a hand whenever possible. She is a native bilingual speaker and enjoys helping other kids in her classroom so if you have a child that is new to the Spanish language, please encourage them to ask for help if they see Zoë. She is more than willing to help and make a new friend.

Hello, Bekah will be joining her big sister, Ariana 5th grade bobcat, this year.  It’s hard to get her head around leaving her pre school Starbright but she is excited to join this warm community.
My name Is Amy.  I am Bekah’s momma.  I am an artist and actor who works as the Enrollment Coordinator for Creative Action. My husband is a therapist and our oldest daughter has been at Becker for 6 years.  We are not native Spanish speakers, yet our kiddo has thrived at Becker and loves all the rich experiences of learning at a dual language campus.
Becker is an authentic, engaged community.  It is filled with parents who care about making better people.
We truly hope to get to know you all.  We know these times are hard and the end seems far away.  But we hope you’ll invest in this community now, so you can be a part of a community that will support your child in unimaginable ways!
Love the Hudson-Downing’s

Bienvenidos a Becker Kinder Familias! Normally we would hold family play-dates through the summer so everyone can get acquainted. But since it's not a normal summer, please post a photo or video of your family and introduce yourself. Or just post a short hello! Put your child's first name as the "Title".
