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.
TD Bank Reedy River Run
Bethel Elementary runs the ‘Reedy’ on March 1st-2nd!

Dismissal Reminders
Please remember that early dismissals after 2:00 pm are not permitted. All early dismissals must take place before this time. Also, if there is an emergency and your child’s transportation home needs to change during the day, please contact the school office before 2:00 pm. All other requests for a transportation change should be sent in writing to your child’s teacher. Thank you for helping us ensure a safe, orderly dismissal for our students!
Our next Spirit Night will be at Fuddruckers on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 from 5-8 pm. The children have had a wonderful time being a part of our Spirit Nights at Fuddruckers, and we have received a lot of positive feedback. Because of the numerous requests from students to be “waiters” at Fuddruckers, we will have an open sign-up for 3rd-5th graders to participate. More information will be coming home soon.
Bethel Bash
Although it seems like light years away, the Bethel Bash is right around the corner. This year’s Bash will be held on Friday, May 17th, 2013 from 5-8 pm. This is a favorite day for the students and staff at Bethel, and it has proven to be a fabulous night out full of family, friendly fun!!! We are still in need of donations of silly string, colored hair spray and confetti eggs. A confetti egg DIY went home recently in Friday Folders. Extra copies are available in the front office. The class that sends in the most confetti eggs will receive a pajama day!!
Multiage Application Process 2013-2014
We will accept multiage applications March 4th–22nd. You may pick up an application in the front office starting March 4th. A multiage brochure containing detailed information will go home in Friday folders. Our Primary Multiage consists of 1st/2nd graders, and Intermediate Multiage is 3rd/4th graders. We will have open spaces in all four of these grade levels. A structured lottery will be used to select students for multiage. Parents will be notified of selection results in April.
Extended Day Registration 2013-2014
We will accept new Extended Day (after school) registrations March 4th -22nd. Depending on the number of registrations, we may have a lottery from the registrations collected during this time period to determine which students will receive a spot in the program for next year. Space is limited! The registration fee is $40 per family. Forms are available at www.greenville.k12.sc.us/bethel or in the front office.
