Bobcat Blast

Hello Bethany Families!

It is hard to believe we have already marched into March! With the daffodils beginning to bloom around our campus, there is a distinct sense of spring in the air and a renewed energy in our hallways.

📚 Read-A-Thon is Underway!

Our Read-A-Thon has officially begun! It has been wonderful to see our Bobcats diving into new books and sharing their love of reading. This is such a special time of year where we celebrate literacy and work together to meet our school-wide reading and fundraising goals. Thank you for supporting your students' reading habits at home—every chapter and every minute counts!

✨ Mark Your Calendars: Family Fun Event!

We are thrilled to announce a Family Fun Event at Bethany, sponsored by our school staff!

When: Thursday, April 9th
Time: 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM
Details: Stay tuned—more information will be headed your way next week!

🗓️ Looking Ahead

We have two more weeks of focused learning and growth before we head into Spring Break. It is a busy and exciting time, so let’s keep that momentum going as we head toward a well-deserved rest.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for making Bethany such a vibrant place to learn.

Go Bobcats!

Are you wanting to help on upcoming Field Trips or Class Activities?

To help keep everyone safe, all volunteers need to complete an application through our district’s volunteer system, Raptor, and pass an Oregon criminal background check. Once you're approved, you'll get a confirmation email.

Please do not wait until two weeks before, as it takes time for your check to go through. We are so sad when we have to turn parents away from Field Trips.

Update: If you were in the system last year, you are still approved.

Volunteer Information and Application

Thanks so much for your support—we couldn’t do it without you!
