Happy Easter from Bethel Grade School. We will see you all on Tuesday. 


We would like to give a huge thank you to the PTO for planning a fun day to end testing and to head into Spring Break with.  Unfortunately, I did not get any footage of the staff Easter egg hunt. It was another touch of fun for everyone. Great Job PTO!

We would like to give one last shoutout to our Carnival sponsors. With every one's help, we raised just over $3,200. 


I know this is a bit of a drive for us, but these camps have been great year in and year out.
