Principal’s Message 1/17/20

This message is coming out early so you have a chance to add the booster club meeting at 4pm to your calendar for Tuesday. Hopefully everyone has a restful weekend. This week was fantastic. On Tuesday, we had our Martin Luther King Jr. Assembly that went exceptionally well. You should be proud of how well our students behaved. The social on Thursday was also a success with a large number of students joining us for the fun.

Winter Wear Drive Jan 21-24: This year we are working with Freedom River Outreach to collect new or gently used, warm clothing and other items for people who may find themselves in need Jan 21-24. We will collect jackets, coats, blankets, scarves, gloves, socks and any other winter wear you have to donate. Please take a look in your closets for any and all winter wear you no longer use/need.

WINTER 2 SPORTS INFORMATION: Boys and Girls Soccer and Boys Basketball. First day of tryouts is Jan. 27th. Please make sure to wear appropriate clothing. For soccer please dress warm and in layers. Basketball, please make sure you wear court appropriate shoes.  Students must have a current physical on file as well as the required paperwork.

Feb 14 NO SCHOOL:  It is official! Since we did not have a Snow/Emergency day prior to Winter Break, February 14 is a NO SCHOOL Day. 

Phone Numbers Changing (repeat):  All Bethel phone numbers are changing prefixes. We will no longer be 683. We will be 800. The majority of staff will retain their same last four digits. For example, 253-683-6000 will become 253-800-6000. From now until April 1, 2020, both the old and new numbers will work. Please note the change in all of your saved school phone numbers.
