An amazing day for 2/3 grade! We took a field trip to Carbondale Science Center & then to Castle Park!
Bethel would like to wish Angela Walker a Happy School Nurses Day!
At tonight's student recognition dinner presented by the Collegial Network of Principals of Jefferson County, Rylie Gockel and LayLay Washington were honored for their outstanding contributions to Bethel Grade School.
8th Grade presented Mrs. Melvin with a donation to help in her fight with cancer. She wasn't having a great day with a chemo treatment only a few days ago, so they wanted to give her a boost today.
On behalf of 8th grade, we want to thank EVERYONE who helped us raise enough money to not only pay all of our graduation expenses, but also enough money left to present Mrs. Melvin with a $1000 check . It's a good day to be a Bulldog~
You know it's Teacher Appreciation Week when the PTO puts out the free snack table in the board room. Lots more to come this week.
