Our themes this month include Numbers, The Lost Coin, Joshua and the Wall of Jericho, Rodeo, The Lost Sheep, Rhymes and Rhythms and Jesus Teaches Us to Pray. Also, report cards will come out this month. It will be very exciting!
The staff would like to thank everyone who remembered us at Christmas time with gifts. They are very much appreciated!
We also need to thank everyone who helped out during the busy months of November and December. We had help for the Holiday Gift Shop, The Book Fair and our Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. Thanks for volunteering and thank you to Angela Huff for heading up a lot of these things!
Please remember to save your Campbell Soup Labels as well as Box Tops for Education! The school receives awards and money for these. The box is located on top of the coat rack. Thank you to Heather McGonicle for taking care of this!
Pizza Friday will be January 9th this month since we are still on vacation during the first Friday of the month. Please remember also that tuition will be due as soon as you return to school on January 5th.

Bethel Christian School StaffDecember 2008 The most holy season of Christmas is upon us! The children are busy learning about the birth of the blessed child, Jesus, and all the different people found in that lowly stable. Their faces are beaming more everyday as the anticipation of Christmas draws closer. We are also working on our Christmas program that the whole school will share with you on Tuesday, December 9th. It begins at 6:30pm. We need the children to arrive between 6 and 6:15. November 2008 What a wonderful fall break! Winter is just around the corner, so we really need to have our boots ready! So, as a reminder about school closing, we will be listed on Channel 9 News and KOA 850 am as Bethel Christian School. There will also be a message on the phone. Please look at these places before you venture out!
We had a lot of fun at our Harvest Parties. Thank you to all the parents who helped with this volunteer opportunity. Some volunteer opportunities this month includes Pizza Friday on November 7th and our Thanksgiving feasts on November 24th and 25th where each class will make something for all of us to eat. Please sign up on the front counters.
Our Bible-based themes this month are Joseph's Colorful Coat, The Man who Remembered to Say Thanks, and Jesus Feeds the 5000. We will also talk about colors, being thankful, and cooking and nutrition. It will be a month full of fun!
We will also have our annual canned food drive for Interchurch of Aurora. Let's try to fill the buckets until they overflow! It's a wonderful way to teach your child to share the many blessings that God has given us! Please send non-perishable food items in with your child. They can put them into the buckets at circle-time.
The Scholastic Book Fair will be November 17 - 21. Please come and take a look. Books make great Christmas presents!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your children! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * October 2008 This month we will take two weeks to learn about Community Helpers and how Jesus does His Father's Work as well as how Solomon built God's House. Then we will talk about Body and Health and Daniel's Good Choice. Finally, we will have a fun week of music and talk about David the Music-Maker.
Calling all workers! If you have a ?community helper' type job, why not share it with us here at Bethel Christian School during the weeks of October 1st through October 9th? We'd love to hear all about it! This could range from a pilot to a chef to a mailman to a librarian to a trash man and anything else!
