BEA Fund for Needy Kids
The BEA Fund for Needy Kids was established in 1989. Teachers are often one of the first to become aware of their students unmet needs. Through this fund members can request assistance to meet a specific need for which the student's family is unable to provide.

The Fund for Needy Kids has purchased winter coats and boots, school supplies, eyeglasses, books, lice kits, shoes, and clothing for many children over the years.
The Fund for Needy Kids has also made donations to organizations such as Toys for Tots, the Billings Food Bank, and the Women's and Children's Shelter at Christmas time when funding allowed.
This fund is overseen by a committee of at least three BEA members appointed by the BEA President. The 2009/10 Fund for Needy Kids Committee is chaired by Noreen Burris.
Forms to make a request on behalf of a student are available to BEA members. Download and complete a Needy Kids Request Form or contact Noreen Burris at Miles Avenue Elementary, 281-6214, or email burrisn@billings.k12.mt.us to discuss a need or request a form.
