Providing care for students at school

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.

HH Beam Elementary students raised $11,500 during their annual Color Run on October 10 to help fund a new playground. Because they passed their $10,000 goal, students duct-taped principal Beth Crosby and assistant principal Leah Somers to the cafeteria wall during lunch. The school also held a Hispanic Heritage Parade on October 15 to end its celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month and received a $1,000 donation from the Kiwanis Club of Gastonia to support families at Thanksgiving.
