BISON BULLETIN

Parents:

It’s been another great week at Bethke! Our teachers and students have been hard at work, staying focused and settling into their daily routines. It’s wonderful to see our Bison learning, growing, and getting more comfortable with the rhythm of the school year. We’re proud of all the effort we’re seeing in our classrooms!

Here are some of this week's highlights:

*WHO YOU WITH...IS I BIN DI !!! They earned 250 house points last week.

*Mrs. Stewart, our counselor, had lunch with all of Bethke's new students.

*Volunteers were on campus in the workroom AND in the science lab.

*The "Golden Broom" is getting a make-over and will be back next week.

*Mrs. Veasley's class earned "Legacy". They had the best attendance last week, 100%!

*We are making more positive phone calls home (Bison Spotlights)

Our attendance for this week was 95.65%

**Perfect attendance for the 1st nine weeks will earn ICE CREAM

Have a great weekend!

Buiilding a Legacy,

Mr. Daniels

What is a Bison Brag?

If you have noticed ANYONE on campus doing something awesome, we would LOVE for you to *BRAG* about them. It could be a teacher, coach, front office staff, or custodian.

The *BRAG* could range from dancing at car rider to making an impact in the classroom!
