At tonight's board meeting, Mr. Eric Gockel was presented a plaque recognizing his years of service to Bethel Grade School District #82. Mr. Gockel came to the board right before COVID and helped with the early phases and decision making for our construction project. We are grateful for his service during this unique span of time. Thank you Mr. Gockel.

This week is Bus Safety Week! Please be aware of buses on the roadways and encourage your kids to ride safely on the bus. Last year, we reported four drivers to the Sheriff's Department for running bus stop signs . Let's make it zero this year.
Another week of good progress for Shores Builders Inc. on the new addition. Most of the footings have been poured ahead of the rain expected for tomorrow. A big shoutout to Shores for the commitment they are showing to this project.
In this phase of the project, we are adding six new classrooms, a set of bathrooms, a set of staff bathrooms, and a custodial room to replace the four older classrooms on the north side of the building.

Today's half-day in-service for the staff was presented by Joe McQueen, the author of Calming Young Minds: Understanding Mental Health, De-Escalation, Trauma and Restorative Practices in Teens. He brought us simple approaches to comforting kids who are feeling big emotions.
We added a little safety work to our half-day today. The kids did an excellent job practicing their bus evacuation procedures. A big thank you to my 8th-grade leaders for helping others out of the bus.
Huge thank you to Ameren for coming to share with 5th grade about electricity, conservation, and safety today! The presentation was fun, and we learned a lot!
