On behalf of the Bethel Grade School staff and Board of Education, I would like to thank all of our students and families for another great school year. Be on the lookout for news and information over the summer.
This was written on a student poster; it is the best feedback we can get. We are blessed with good kids and caring staff members. Thank you for taking this journey with us.

It was a great last day for Bethel. The talent show was fun and the outdoor activities were a blast. A big thank you to the PTO for the snow cones, Jefferson County Sheriff's office for the SWAT truck and the staff for their help in making this a great day.
