Happy New Year!
Thank you to all the wonderful PTA volunteers who made the Gingerbread Shop such a success! Our students were so proud to take home gifts for family and friends. Many volunteers worked endless hours to make this event happen. We also want to thank those who helped with the crock pot luncheon for the staff. Thanks for all you do!
K5-1st Grade Registration
We will hold registration for kindergarten and new first grade students for the 2013-2014 school year on January 22nd-25th. Parents can download the registration forms and information from our website or you may pick up a copy at our school. Registrations should be hand delivered to the school during office hours – 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. Parents need to provide the completed registration form, two proofs of residence (recent utility bill such as water and power), an immunization record, and a birth certificate (long form). Early registration ensures that we have enough teachers in place to accommodate our students for the fall. Please help us spread the word in the community! Also, school tours are provided for those who are interested. You may call the school office to schedule a tour.
Report Cards
Report cards for second quarter will go home on January 24th. Please let your child’s teacher know if you need a conference. All students are encouraged to complete online Compass activities at home, and they should also read daily for at least 20 minutes. Thank you for supporting our efforts with student achievement!
This month’s Spirit Night will be held at Chick-fil-A Monday, January 7th from 5-8 pm. Drive-through and dine in orders will be tallied and Bethel will receive 20% of sales. Please be sure to mention Bethel when you are ordering. The class with the most participation will receive a special prize. Take the night off from cooking and come join us!
Box Tops
Continue clipping those Box Tops and sending them in to school!! Our next contest will end on Jan. 31st. The top classes from K-2nd and 3rd-5th will win a game with the administrative team in the gym. It will be lots of fun, so keep on clipping to help your child's class win. Congratulations to Mrs. Hendrix’s first grade class for winning last month’s contest with 222 Box Tops! ***Tip: Make a container labeled "Box Tops" and give to grandparents, aunts, uncles or even take to work so that others can help you collect.

Bethel BASH
It’s the favorite day of the year for the students at Bethel!!!! The annual carnival is May 17th and we can always use donations and help! Now is a wonderful time to be on the lookout for cans of colored hair spray. Do you have extras left over from Halloween? We will even take partially used cans. Also please be sure to send in your eggshells. Make sure they are empty and dry please. Be sure to put your teacher's name on the carton, and we will have a prize for the class that sends in the most. Don’t know how to do confetti eggs?? A DIY is soon to come!
