Attention 8th Grade Parents: I still need one baby picture of your graduate from several of you. We have a guess who board with all the baby pictures for graduation. Either email it to me at jschultz@bethelschool.net or send a hard copy to school. I will make sure it is returned to you. Thank you!

8th Grade presented Mrs. Melvin with a donation to help in her fight with cancer. She wasn't having a great day with a chemo treatment only a few days ago, so they wanted to give her a boost today.
On behalf of 8th grade, we want to thank EVERYONE who helped us raise enough money to not only pay all of our graduation expenses, but also enough money left to present Mrs. Melvin with a $1000 check . It's a good day to be a Bulldog~
