Bethel the Beautiful

Here's to a great week!! Please see the reminders and information below. We appreciate your help and support! It is supposed to get cold this week. Your child's teacher will determine if they go outside for recess or not. Please make sure your child has a coat, just in case. If your child needs a coat, please don't hesitate to let us know!

🎃👻Tuesday is our beloved Book-o-Ween! Teachers are excited to act out a book with your children and we are so excited that your child will receive a free book to enjoy!! If you are volunteering, please be at the classroom by 7:50 so you can take students to the gym for a short program. Teachers will be getting ready for their performance during this time. We appreciate you coming and helping us!!

Due to low staffing, we will not be able to have Afterschool on Tuesday, October 31st. Thanks for understanding! We are continuing to work on getting staff in place so we don't have to close.

We are excited to honor our Veterans with a wonderful 5th grade music program in the gym on Thursday, November 9th at 1:15 pm. Information about the program and ways we will be honoring our Veterans will be coming home this week! We hope all of the veterans in our community will come to this event. We truly appreciate their service!! 🇺🇸

Yearbook orders will be open from October 30th to March 20th. Yearbook flyers will be sent home early this week. Online orders are preferred, but we will accept cash and check orders as well. All checks should be made to Bethel Elementary School. Name personalization is available online only for an additional $5.

Our annual canned food drive will begin on November 13th and last until December 5th. Our school always brings in lots of cans to support Haywood County students and their families. Let's try to make this our record year of participation! Thanks in advance for your support! The class that brings in the most cans gets a pizza party!!

We will beginning our annual Reading for Education Fundraiser this week! It is an easy fundraiser for you to participate in and students in the past have loved the book buddy prizes. This year it is an ocean animals theme! Information will be sent home on Monday or Tuesday of this week. There is an envelope that students send home and return the following day. If 40% of our students participate, we will be in the running to win a book vending machine!! We would love to have one of these near the fireplace at school where students earn tokens and can get a free book!! A couple of schools in our county have one and the students love it! Reading is key to our student's success- what a fun way for students to earn books and love to read! Thanks in advance for your support!!

There will be no school for students and staff in honor of Veterans Day.

November 7th is our Candy bar Fundraiser party. Students that sold 2 or more boxes of chocolate will be invited to attend the event that afternoon. I know we've said this several times, but thank you VERY MUCH for all of your support of the fundraiser!!
