American Education Week
Greenville County Schools will celebrate American Education Week November 12-16 with the theme, Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility. We look forward to thanking all of our staff for helping educate the students at Bethel. It takes every one of us working together to educate our children.
The book fair is this week, November 12-16, and runs from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm. On Monday, November 12th, the book fair will be open for Family Night from 4:30-6:30. All are welcome to browse and purchase books. The book fair has many items besides just books including pencils, erasers, electronics and much more. We hope to see you there!
Book Character Day
To conclude our Book Fair Week, we will have our annual Book Character Day on November 16th. Staff and students will dress as their favorite book characters on that day. Costumes don’t have to be elaborate. They can even be homemade! The purpose is to motivate our children to love reading!
Book Drive
Is it time to clean out your bookshelves at home? November 1st -15th we will hold a book drive to collect gently used children’s books for needy families. Some homes have little or no reading material which interferes with a child’s ability to succeed in school. We hope to use your book donations to make a positive impact on families right here in our community. Place the books you want to donate in the bins on the front hallway. This can be a great family project. Thank you for supporting literacy in our community!
Bethel BASH
It’s not too early to start preparing for the Bethel Bash! This time of year a lot of stores have hair paint and silly string. These things are often discounted after Halloween so it’s a great time to start sending these in for the Bethel Bash. These can be sent in anytime to the PTA room. You can also begin sending in egg shells for confetti eggs. We will be having a contest from now until the Bash for the class that sends in the most eggs. Just send in your cartons of empty egg shells to the PTA room and put your child’s teacher’s name on the outside of the carton. Empty the egg shells by tapping the end of the egg shell with a knife or cracking a small hole in the top and then emptying the egg out when you use it. Be sure to rinse your eggs and let them dry before sending them into school. The confetti egg booth is one of our most profitable and popular booths at the Bash!! Thank you for your support!
