UP COMING EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

This week is National Lutheran Schools Week! We are celebrating with over 172,000 students who attend an LCMS school world wide. Even here in Ohio we have 63 LCMS schools; from preschool all the way up to high school. We have spirit days all week: Monday is “Pajama Day, Tuesday is “Space Day”, Wednesday is “Time Travel Day”, Thursday is “Superhero Day”, and Friday is “Monochrome Day”. We have various activities and giveaways for students to share learning and build community every day of the week.

Each month we have a Christian Character Word on which we focus. January is all about “Encouragement” and we are are handling out a Mustard Seed Award to one student in each grade who was the most encouraging to others this month.

We are vary grateful for those students in Kindergarten – 3rd Grade who are joining us for worship in the 10:45am service. We love it when both students from the school and members of the congregation can worship together. Also our appreciations goes out to Alex Fry form organizing the group and helping them practices.

Some of our 7th and 8th grade students will be competing in a creative writing contest called “Power of the Pen” this upcoming week. Depending on their work they will have the opportunity to move on to the regional competition, and then possibly to a state level competition. We pray that they will all share their gifts through their writings.

Enrollment is now open to the general community for the 2026-2027 school year. If you are unfamiliar, Ed Choice is income based scholarship through the state of Ohio which provides funds to families which they can use to pay tuition at a private school, This program makes the gift of a Bethlehem education more accessible  to every family in Ohio. If you have any questions about this program, please contact the school office. This also means that if you know of anyone who has school age children who might benefit from being students at Bethlehem share with them that this program exists and tell them to reach out to the office for more information.

We will be applying to be a Purple Star School! If  selected,  the means Bethlehem Lutheran is recognized as a school that is intentionally supportive of military children and families. The application opens in November and schools are informed of their selection in the late winter/early spring of the school year.

Dr. Megan Brown from Cedarville University is zooming in once a month to help our classroom teachers with literacy strategies as we seek to have all our students reading a t their grade level. 

Enrollment is open for the 2026-2027 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.
