Betz Buzz

Remember to set your clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 3rd. It is also a good time to check the batteries in your smoke detectors.

Betz students are holding a coin drive again for the Generation Alive Something 2 Eat program. On November 14th, students in kindergarten through 5th grade will participate in a school-wide packing event where they will pack one meal for every $.25 raised. Last year we raised $3,642.67, providing 14,571 meals! Let's see if we can raise even more this year!

Donations can be made online HERE or sent to school with students every Tuesday through November 14th. Together, we can tackle food insecurity!

If you are wanting retakes, please return the original picture packet.

If your student was absent on the original picture day, please order online or send your student with a picture packet that day.

Ordering online is fast, easy, and available NOW!

Order online at www.leosphotography.com using Class Code FAL225776

To pay with cash, check or money order

Return picture packet with your student on or before picture day.

• Cash must be in the exact amount; we are unable to make change
• Checks and money orders should be made out to "Leo's Photography"

Spokane Chiefs is hosting Betz Night on Saturday, November 16th.

Benefits of going on Betz Night

• You and your family get discounted tickets ($20 SEATS FOR JUST $11!)
• Reserved seating so that your kids can sit with their friends from Betz
• A portion of the ticket sales go back to the PTA!

PLUS - It's Coca-Cola Family Feast Night and Rally Towel Giveaway!

Concessions will feature discounted food options courtesy of Shriners Children's Spokane and the first 5,000 fans through the gates will receive a Spokane Chiefs Rally Towel.

Our library will be hosting the Book Fair November 19th-27th.

Consider using the eWallet feature for your student to shop – Instead of sending your student to school with cash that could get lost, you can prepay online in advance. Your student can shop the book fair, spending up to the amount you have chosen. More information about the Book Fair will be sent out soon.

You can set up your e-wallet and check out the flyer on the website now; online shopping will begin on November 19th.

If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please contact our PTA.

As a fundraiser for our ASB, we will have Student Sales in the Viking Room EVERY Wednesday during breakfast. Items will sell for $1, $2, and $5. This is a cash-only sale. The items available to purchase will vary throughout the year. In the past we sold items like Smencils (scented pencils), Backpack Buddies, bookmarks, and Model Magic.

Citizenship is positively contributing to society and community as well as dutifully respecting authority and the law.

Throughout the month of November we will look for examples of students demonstrating citizenship. If you have an example of your child being a good citizen at home, we'd love to share it on the morning announcements! Click on the button below to submit a shout out!
