A huge THANK YOU to all of our Bethel Bears for donating toward our food drive for Bread for Life. We collected a total of 3,689 items! WOW! Amazing job, Bethel Bears! Pictured are the Bethel SCA Officers with Bonnie Hayman from Bread for Life.
It's not too late to place your Original Works order! See the flyer for details. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kristin.Darlak@gc.k12.va.us
Please check your child’s take home folder for their Original Works flyer! Here is an example of what it looks like.
If you go online and follow the prompts from the flyer, you will be able to see your child’s masterpiece, and the different
products you can order, if you’d like! A portion of your purchase will come back to the school and help support the
Bethel Elementary Art Program.
The deadline to order is November 9, so the products can be created and shipped to the school by the beginning of
December. I will then pass out the packages for students to take home with them. These make great Christmas gifts!
If you have any questions, please email Kristin.Darlak@gc.k12.va.us
