 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]]> 2020-07-24 01:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/beckerelementary/38c7j57b4b6dp3af/wish/661481925 Wren ashleysteakleykim https://padlet.com/beckerelementary/38c7j57b4b6dp3af/wish/662468786 Hi Becker family! 💗Steakley Kims checking in.

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! ]]> 2020-08-07 20:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/beckerelementary/38c7j57b4b6dp3af/wish/672778452
