UP COMING EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are so thankful for the 2nd and 3rd grade students and families joining us for the 10:45 am service today. The students and Mr. Fry have worked really hard on the songs they will be singing for us. It is always a blessing and a great opportunity to have the whole Bethlehem community worship together.
This past week we were able to commemorate First Responders Day. All of our students made cards to thank, in particular, the police and fire departments in Fairborn for keeping our community safe. Both departments visited Bethlehem that afternoon. The students were able to personally deliver their cards to the officers and were able to take a tour of the cool vehicles the police and the fire department brought to campus.
Coming up this Friday, November 7th, is our PTO Fall Festival from 6pm to 8pm. You are all invited to be part of this event and to help support the PTO’s efforts to enrich the school experience of both students and teachers at Bethlehem.
On Tuesday, November 11th, starting at around 8:45am we are having s special Veterans’ Day chapel. All of our church community is invited to worship with us, especially if you are a current or former member of the military. If you are able to wear your uniform that would be great – but not required. Just come to the wooden doors under the overhang and someone will be there to greet you.
On November 8th at 6pm, the 8th grade students are organizing a Spaghetti Dinner as a fundraiser to support their 8th grade class trip in May. They would like to go to the Ark if they can raise enough money. Between transportation, tickets, and lunch, they are looking to raise around $1800. For the Spaghetti Dinner, there will be a suggested donation.
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.
The PTO will again be organizing the Fall Festival this year. The date for this year’s event is Friday, November 7th. If you have an item or a service that you would like to donate for the auction, please let the school office know; the donation deadline is October 19. Please contact the school office if you have any questions.
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.
We also are starting to highlight our Christian character words in September. Each month we focus on a different word and at the end of the month, the student in each class who best demonstrated that characteristic receives the Mustard Seed Award. The word of September is respectful.
Enrollment is 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.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 New Living Translation (NLT)
