Bethel the Beautiful

Thanks for attending STEM night last week!! We had a great turnout and everyone had a lot of fun learning about robots and science! I appreciate our staff for coming up with fun activities for our students to enjoy and learn from!! Thank you families for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend! Thanks again!!

Thanks also to our first grade families for coming to our music program on Friday!! It was a lot of fun! Thanks also to Ms. Dodson for leading the way!

This Friday is our annual Book-o-Ween and we are very excited!! Volunteers that have signed up on our Google form need to meet at 8:05 by the fire place so we can go over the schedule, etc. We appreciate you coming and helping!!

🎃 Keep it Spooky, Not Scary: Avoid costumes with violent or bloody images. It's okay to look "spooky," but nothing too gruesome.

💨 Avoid Blow Up Costumes: With the traveling to different classes, sitting down to watch performances and the nature of Book-o-ween, it's hard to maneuver in a blow up costume.

👁️ Masks and Makeup: Masks are not permitted to wear, but can be brought with them and please keep makeup minimal and apply it at home.

🧥 Safe Costumes: Make sure your child’s costume doesn’t have anything hanging below the wrist or ankle to avoid tripping or getting things caught.

🎒 Easy-to-Carry Props: If your child has props, they should be easy to manage, especially if they take the bus.

🚫 No Weapons: Please don’t include any toy weapons in the costume.

🏃 PE-Friendly Costumes: If your child has Physical Education on the 30th, pick a costume that’s safe and easy to move in.

Our PTO is having a Bethel merchandise sale and will be adding items to the store that is linked below! Check it out and get you some really cool Bethel gear! Our school receives money from each purchase. Thanks for your support!!

Check out our literacy pictures of the week!! Irving in Ms. Wilson's class wrote about life on the prairie and information he learned in their CKLA lessons. Meanwhile, Dalton Laws in Mrs. Cantrell's third grade class wrote about mammals. Proud of our staff and students for their focus on writing instruction and learning!

We will be having our pig race for students that sold 2 or more boxes of chocolate on October 27th. Thanks so much for your support of our chocolate fundraiser!!

Our annual Thanksgiving meal will be on Friday, November 13! Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade families will be invited to eat with us on this day. Unfortunately, our cafeteria isn't large enough to accommodate all of the grades. 1st, 3rd and 5th will be hosting the Christmas lunch in December. Make plans to join us for this delicious meal!! Please check out the letter that will be sent home this Monday!
