📣 Board Member Update & Appreciation
At last night’s Board of Education meeting, we celebrated both continuity and change within our leadership team.
We proudly recognized Nicole Butler and Kellie Ropers, who were reelected in the April 2025 election and officially took the oath of office. We’re grateful for their continued dedication and service to the Beach Park School District 3 community. 👏
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to Steven Lenzi and Anne Fuson, whose terms on the Board concluded. Steven served an incredible 19 years, and Anne contributed 3.5 years of thoughtful leadership. Their commitment to our students, staff, and families has left a lasting impact, and we thank them sincerely for their years of service. 💙
Please join us in congratulating Nicole and Kellie, and in thanking Steven and Anne for their meaningful contributions to BPD3! 🎉
