Happy Memorial Day from Bethel Grade School.

We are quickly approaching the end of the 25-26 school year. There is no school on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. Our last day for student attendance will be on Tuesday, and we will dismiss at 2:00 for the summer.

Bonnie Park Day! The kids LOVE this day here & this time we even have Laser Tag for them! How fun!

Hey everyone, wanna share this asap! Free Meals & Milk! No income requirement! Get registered friends! Have a safe and wonderful summer! Mrs. Melvin

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to watch kindergarten graduation today. Another special thanks to our students for cheering them all on.

If your child is going into kindergarten, 2nd, or 6th grades, the State of Illinois requires a completed dental exam. This is a great opportunity to have your child seen before school starts up next year, as we are very limited with dentist's locally that take Medicaid. The Jefferson County Health Department is having a free dental clinic day on June 3rd. If you are in need of your child getting a dental exam, please scan this QR code and get set up to get your child seen or contact the Health Department at the number listed on the flyer.

This will not interfere with Dental Safari coming to the school next year. They will still be here. Your child will not need to see both of them.

Today was the last day for the 8th graders so they did the announcements together. Come see them graduate tonight at 6:00 in Waller Gym. Doors open at 5:30.

A big thank you to everyone who came out today for Pre-K graduation. These little ones look great in Bethel blue. The 8th grade ceremony will be Tuesday night at 6:00 and the kindergarteners will graduate May 21st at 1:00.

Our 1st grade authors had the best time reading their own stories to their families today. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day a success!

We had the most precious visitor today! This sweet first grader stopped by our room to practice reading for Young Author’s Day. We even invited her big sister over to join the audience! Afterward, we got to show little sister exactly what writing looks like in third grade. My heart is so full seeing these two support each other!

☀️ Save the Date! 💦🐯

Little Paws local cat rescue came today to tell 8th grade how rescues work and let them love on kittens. 8th grade donated $263 to Little Paws from funds raised during spring fling this year for animal rescue awareness. We are proud of their commitment to serving our community.

A fun summer opportunity from the University of Illinois Extension.
