Be sure to like our Facebook page to receive updates about the greats things happening at our school.

PTA Open House is Monday
Join us at  PTA Open House on Monday, September 9th at 6:30 pm.  We will begin with a brief PTA meeting in the cafeteria, and we will have two classroom visitation sessions where teachers will share important information regarding the school year.  Please make every attempt to attend.  Research shows that students achieve more when parents are actively involved at school.

Join Bethel PTA!
Don't forget to purchase a PTA membership for $5!  We are counting on your assistance to help Bethel reach 100%.  In order to do this, we ask that you join for each child you have at Bethel.  You should have received a membership form in the packet distributed at Meet the Teacher.  If you need another form, please contact your child’s teacher or you can download a form from the school website.  If you have questions, contact Kelly Radecki at mkradecki@charter.net.

Our next spirit night will be on September 12th at Firehouse Subs on Woodruff Road from 4:00-10:00 pm. Take a night off from cooking and join us for great food. Thank you for supporting Bethel PTA!

Boostherthon is Here
Our Boosterthon fundraiser has begun! Students collect pledges and enter them at www.funrun.com. Students will also participate in the Fun Run on September 13 at Bethel.  Boosterthon promotes fitness, leadership, good character, and fun!  Parents are encouraged to attend the Fun Run for their child’s grade level on September 13th – K/1st (8:15-9:15), 2nd/3rd & PMA (9:25 – 10:25), and 4th/5th & IMA (10:35-11:35).  You won’t want to miss it!

Room Parent Meeting
If you have been contacted by PTA confirming that you are a room parent, please attend one of the Room Parent meetings on September 12th at 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM. If you have any questions, please contact Lori Flaherty at loriyflaherty@gmail.com.

Volunteer Orientation/Lunch Relief Training
Volunteers are invited to attend one of the orientations held on Sept. 12th at 9:30 AM and 6:00 PM. In addition, parents interested in providing lunch relief for their child’s teacher, may attend one of the trainings on that day at 10:15 AM or 6:45 PM.  

Give With Target 
This year, Target will give money to schools all over the country for one simple act: a vote. Our school needs just 25 votes to earn a $25 donation from Target. But that's only the beginning. For each additional vote, our school will get $1 more. So please remember that, although the gesture is small, the rewards are potentially huge. Go to www.GiveWith.Target.com to vote for Bethel Elementary School once a week through September 21 or until Target has given away all $5 million.

Box Tops for Education
Want to win a Toys R Us gift card? Get your neighbors, friends, coworkers, aunts, uncles, grandparents and anyone else you know to clip Box Tops. You can go to www.boxtops4education.com to see a complete list of products. Then just put them in a Ziploc bag with your child’s name and teacher on the outside and send them in to the school. We will be having monthly contests throughout the year. The first contest deadline is September 30th. The top winner from grades K-2 and 3-5 will win a $25 gift card to Toys R Us!
