Bethel the Beautiful

Students will have a Remote Learning Day on this Thursday, March 21st. Teachers will let families know what assignments students have. Thanks!

So proud of our students in 2nd -5th! They worked hard last week on their reading and math. Students in 5th grade will be taking their science test on Monday, May 18th and those that were absent last week will also be testing this week. Thanks for encouraging your students to do their very best!

Friday, we will be celebrating those 2nd-5th graders that made Blue Paw for the third 9 weeks. Kona Ice and games...it's going to be a fun afternoon!!

Just a reminder that K-1 has a student chosen each week and every Friday we do something special with them. 2nd-5th grade are picked every other week and put on the list for that 9 weeks and celebrate at the end of each 9 weeks.

We will be having Spring Pictures on March 28th. Students will be taking their group/class photo, along with individual photos.

March 29th is an early dismissal for Good Friday. Please make sure your child knows how they are getting home that day! Thanks!

We are looking forward to meeting our new kindergarteners for next year! Bethel will be having their kindergarten registration on April 30th from 4-6 pm.

Last year for our first annual Spring Fling, we took donations of store bought cakes and candy for our cake walks and prizes. We definitely need those items again this year, but we also need items for our baskets we are auctioning off.

This year our Silent Auction will be themed baskets and in order for them to be successful, we could use your help! We will be having at least 10 baskets in our Silent Auction and need gift cards and items to fill them. Here are some of the baskets we will be trying to fill and auction off:

- Piggin Out Basket (restaurant gift cards)

- Pamper Me Basket (nail, spa, and hair care gift cards) Other pamper me items.

- Gardening Basket

- Hardware Basket

- Happy Camper Basket

- Family Fun Basket

- Pisgah Bears Basket

- Movie Night Basket

- Local Artisan Basket

- Dog Lovers Basket

If you know anyone that owns a business that might be willing to donate items, or if you are willing to purchase a gift card or item, we would really appreciate it! All items should be taken to the office to be placed in the baskets. Thanks in advance for your help with this!! It's going to be a fun night!!
