Parent Conferences

All parents will be invited to attend a conference with their child’s teacher this month.  Please be looking for this information to come home.  We usually have 100% attendance from our parents!  Research shows that children achieve more when their parents are actively involved in their child’s education.  Please let us know if we can answer any questions.  Thank you again for your support!

Come Join Us!

 

ORIGINAL ART

Students have been hard at work in their art classes working on Original Art. This is an annual fundraiser where 100% of the profits go right back to the art department. Your child’s artwork will come home with an order form in a couple of weeks. Please be on the lookout. You can use this opportunity to order Christmas gifts for your children to give to family members with their artwork on it. Orders will be back in time for Christmas. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Radecki at mkradecki@charter.net or Stephanie Yearwood at glocksandthe3bears@gmail.com.

Dine Out for Mom

Dine Out for Mom is Thursday, October 25.  This easy fundraiser benefits Let There Be Mom (a local NPO that preserves the legacies of moms and dads with life threatening illnesses). To participate all you have to do is make purchases from any of the 66 Restaurant Locations that have partnered with LTBM on October 25.  The restaurants will donate 20% of their total sales (excluding alcohol) from the entire day to LTBM.  Dine in, carry out, catering, and even gift cards all count.  For a complete list of restaurants/location participating in Dine Out for Mom 2012, please visit Let There Be Mom's website ( http://lettherebemom.org/dine-out-for-mom/ ).  Funds donated to LTBM will be used to create tangible memories for the children of the families we serve. Make your meals count...Dine Out for Mom on Thursday, October 25. 

REFLECTIONS

Reflections is a nationwide arts recognition and achievement program in which all the students here at Bethel are eligible to participate.  Each student can create a work of art based on a specific theme. This year’s theme is “The Magic of a Moment” and there are six arts areas in which students may participate: Literature, Music, Photography, Visual Arts, Dance Choreography, and Video Production. All entries are due Oct. 12^th, and the rules are posted on the Bethel website under PTA.

Fall Dance

Bethel’s first dance of the year will be held on Friday, October 26^th from 6-8 in the staff parking lot.  If it rains, it will be held in the cafeteria. Tickets will go on sale at 5:45 before the dance. The cost is $5.00 per person for all students attending Bethel. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Pizza and drinks will be available for purchase. Students may wear their Halloween costumes…no scary costumes please!
