The Beebe School educators “All-Stars” hosted the Malden Police Basketball stars for a hoop showdown and it drew a great crowd. The event included a night of competition, heads-up play and a lot of laughs and smiles. Most importantly, it was a big fundraiser night for students of the school who will be attending the Nature’s Classroom trip later this spring for the first time in a number of years. Nature’s Classroom is a multi-day, sleepover field trip at a supervised camp in Charlton, Mass., where students go through a full slate of activities, which include exploring the outdoors and getting a first-person view of nature up close, in real time. The Malden School Committee, at meetings held earlier this year, heard presentations from representatives of the city’s K-8 schools and approved trips to Nature’s Classroom for this school year. This will be the first time in a number of years Beebe School has sought to send students to the Nature’s Classroom experience. Ther small admission charge for Tuesday night’s game is all going toward defraying the cost of the trip. The fundraising night was one of a number of events the Beebe School is hosting to make sure that every student that wants to take the trip has that opportunity.
