BEECH STREET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
333 Beech Street, Manchester 03103
http://www.mansd.org/beech
This Grade 1-5 public elementary school has over 600 students. 92% of those students qualify for free or reduced price lunches; this is the largest percentage in New Hampshire. This school has a “Magnet Program,” which offers specialized courses or curriculum that draw students from across the normal boundaries as described by school authorities. It offers ELL (English Language Learning and Teaching) and 49% of its students are English Learners. A large number of their students are from immigrant and refugee families.
Teachers are aware of their students’ needs and request specific items of clothing from their social worker. They have only a small storage closet and ask that no big donations be made to them, that any donations (which are desperately needed) be made to match the need. Their students always have a desperate need for sneakers, shoes and boots.
On occasion, they host a clothing give-away during PTG meetings or other events. They pile clothing on tables in the lobby and invite parents to come take what they want and need. During these events, adult warm clothing (sweaters, shirts, jeans and warm coats) are welcomed and disappear before needing storage in the closet.
This school would be an ideal recipient for a donor who wants to meet a smaller scale drive. The items received will be put to good use and are urgently needed.
