On Valentine’s Day, Kindergarten conducted an experiment with candy hearts. We first made predictions. Then we put hearts in three different liquids (water, Sprite & vinegar) to see if they would sink or float. After the experiment, we documented our results. The candy hearts sank in the water and vinegar, but floated in the Sprite.









We have a lot of kids at Bethel that collect sports cards and Pokémon cards. Here's a great opportunity for them right here in Mt. Vernon and you might see some familiar faces behind some tables.

Bethel Grade School will take an e-Learning day tomorrow (2/19/25) due to hazardous weather conditions. Please complete packet #3. Stay safe and warm.
