A Note from the PTO Executive Board… Fall is off to a fantastic start! Plans for the year were reviewed and the budget approved at the Fall General PTO Meeting on September 2 nd . We thank the many parents who attended! We are excited to report that pledges for our one and only major fundraiser, the Fun Run, went far beyond our goal with nearly $35K in pledges! We are waiting for the last of the pledges to be submitted. If you have outstanding pledges, please send them in as soon as possible. We thank everyone who sponsored students, reached out to family and friends for pledges, and volunteered their time helping with the Prize Patrol and the Fun Run. Many thanks to our amazing teachers who acted as coaches for their classroom teams and got their students excited about helping our wonderful school! Special thanks to teachers Abbey Clinton (1 st grade) and Joni Levesque (4 th grade) for being willing participants in the class toilet papering incentive! HUGE thanks to our own Coach Jay Gould for being our awesome on-site Fun Run lead—he put the ”FUN” in fundraiser--and for being such a great sport when it came to nightly incentives! The Cafeteria Mural Project is underway with Dina Vacho’s talented brushstrokes! We’re excited to see it fully transformed! Many thanks to everyone who has become a sponsor! Our Bethel Boosters “Invest In Our School Program” has raised over $5K! Our sincere thanks to everyone who has become a sponsor—your support is greatly appreciated! Participation has been amazing for our various Spirit Events and we thank everyone for their support! Pelican’s brought in $115 and Domino’s $158!
