Valentine's Day Parties
We will have Valentine’s Day parties on February 14th – K5 & Mrs. Irick’s class (10:30-11:15) and 1st – 5th grades (1:15-2:00). Please remember to provide a balance of sweets and healthy foods for the party! Parents who assist with the parties will be asked to leave at 2:00 for security reasons allowing us to prepare for a safe afternoon dismissal. Parents will no longer be allowed to sign children out from the classroom during events such as parties and the school picnic. Students with early dismissals must go through the front office. Thank you for helping us with school safety!
K5 and New 1st Grade Registration
Registration for K5 and new 1st graders for 2013-2014 has begun. Please be sure to register now so we can have an accurate projection for next year. The district has posted the school calendar for 2013-2014 on their website. You may go to www.greenville.k12.sc.us to access their calendar. The first day of school will be Wednesday, August 21st.
Family Time at Pleasant Valley
Bethel staff members look forward to our upcoming visit to the Pleasant Valley Community Center on Tuesday, February 12th from 3:30-5:00 pm. If you live in the Pleasant Valley community, you are invited to join us for a parenting workshop, book give-aways, and a free meal. We look forward to seeing you there!
Spirit Night will be held at Chick-fil-A 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!
Science Fair
Science Fair projects are due in your child's classroom on February 22nd. Projects must include an experiment, NOT a demonstration. It must include a question that you do an experiment to answer. Students should choose a topic in which they are interested. Remember to keep your science simple – it is more important to follow (and write up) the steps of the scientific method than to have a complicated project. We will recognize our school's Science Fair winners at our PTA Science Fair Night, Monday, March 11th. Please contact your child's teacher for more information, or visit the Bethel website.
