Cape Coral homebuilder Beattie Development will hold a benefit to help Cape Coral elementary school educators defray or eliminate money they personally pay each year on classroom items.

The Beattie School Supply Collection Party will be held from 4-7 p.m. Aug. 3 at the company’s Model Home Center, 1815 Cape Coral Parkway W.

Visitors who arrive with classroom supplies for local teachers will be treated to drinks and gourmet eats by Dave’s Bangin’ BBQ, along with personal thanks from area teachers.

Beattie Development Sales Manager Brittany Turner worked with Cape Coral principals to identify the classroom items their teachers need the most. Those include: Dry-erase markers, pencils, crayons, colored pencils, colored copy paper, colored cardstock, Post-it Notes in a variety of sizes and colors, stickers, sports-theme decorations, paperback picture and chapter books, Sticky Tack and Dr. Seuss-themed items.
