UP COMING EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

This is Holy Week so we commemorate the week with chapel each day. We do have some students that do have a regular church home and so we celebrate Easter with our Easter chapel on Thursday, March 17, at 2:30 pm. You are all welcome to join us! On Good Friday, March 18, and Easter Monday, March 21, we do not have school.

On Thursday,  April 10, we hosted our Family Literacy Night from 6 pm to 7 pm. Our theme this year is “Under the Big Top; A Literacy Extravaganza.”  We had various classroom activities centered around literacy and a book swap for the students to take a book or two to take home.

Enrollment is now open for the 2025-2026 school year and if you know of anyone who would benefit from our Christ-centered education we encourage ;you to have them contact the school office. Each week we will be offering tours of the school for those interested.

Our goal for all students is to have them reading at or above grade level. We have two professors from Cedarville University, Dr. Sylvester and Dr. Brown, who Zoom in once a month to support our teachers in their learning. Teachers are learning much about the teaching of reading and also content area literacy.

We continue with our new initiative called the Mustard Seed Award. Mrs. Landon came up with a list of Christian character word. At school chapel each week, Pastor Witte reiterates the Christian character word of the month. At the end of each month teachers will select on of their class students who best exemplifies that characteristic. These students will be recognized  with a certificate and the end of the chapel service.

We are starting a parent prayer group. For this we have scheduled one morning a month when any Bethlehem parent may come and pray for the students and staff of Bethlehem Lutherans School and whatever other needs they may have. Our first meeting is this Monday morning, September 9. At this time there are eight parents willing to participate – a very encouraging start. Of course, one does not have to come at a specific time to pray for the school, its staff and its students. Prayers of the saints are appreciated any time they are lifted up.

The school has begun the process for gaining Accreditation from the National Lutheran Schools Association. The Accreditation Team will be visiting our school at the end of April for their evaluation. This should be completed by June 2025. This accreditation will help the school and staff improve the quality of a scriptural-based Lutheran education with the resources available.

My child,listen when your father correct you. Do not neglect your mother's instruction. What you learn from them will crown you
with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck.

Proverbs 1:8-9 (New Living Translation - NLT)
