Trauma and the HolidaysDecember can be a month filled with joy and happiness, but it can also be a month filled with anxiety and sadness for families dealing with trauma. As you watch those around you celebrating the season, it can be very challenging when you’re dealing with something painful or difficult. This month our Community Support Team will be meeting in Littleton to discuss how to support families in need. Our local communities are filled with people who can offer support on so many levels. Our aim is to try to work together to be available to help families who might be dealing with a host of challenging issues. One of the goals of this group is to compile a list of resources to help our school community members who are in need. Our first Conversations over Coffee did not happen because parents were unable to attend. We have since heard from several parents so we are hoping to try again on January 16 at 7:00 AM. If we find that this time doesn’t work, we will try to do something near the end of the school day. Stay tuned!!! Social/Emotional Learning at BES continues to support kids on a daily basis. Studies show that academics will thrive only if students are feeling good about themselves. Our divorce group has begun meeting as well as a group to help fifth and sixth grade girls who are focusing on healthy self-esteem and building friendships. Also, highlighting gratitude has helped many kids shift to a positive place and this conversation will continue through the month of December! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at school at 869-5842. Sue Greenlaw Student Services Coordinator Please remember to send students to school with winter clothing daily: coat, ski-pants, boots, hat, mittens/gloves. Students need to be prepared for outside recess every day and please be sure to label ALL items. Also keep extra dry clothes/socks in their back pack available for use if needed. Make a difference in your community. A report from the Regional Prevention Partnerships (RPP) of Caledonia and Southern Essex Counties and Wells River |
We would like to express our heartfelt thank you to all those involved in the building of our new playground. It was truly a group effort and we appreciate everyone who was involved. The students at BES are thrilled with their new play structure! We would like to thank each and every person involved with the project, especially our financial supporters: Casella, NH Charitable Foundation- Tender Corp, The BES NEST, The Raichle Family, Mascoma Savings Bank Foundation, Heidi and Martin Glavic, Garnet Hill Inc, Kristin and Mike Bruno, Bethlehem Village Store, Wal-Mart, and the Littleton Coop Partner of the Month Program. We would also like to extend our thanks to all the community members who supported NEST fundraisers, ran in the 5K/ Color Run, supported us at The 99 Dine for a Cause, or supported any other of our fundraising events.
The physical building of the playground could not have been done without the support of an amazing group of people. We would especially like to thank: Joel St. Pierre of O’Brien and Sons, Kevin Roy from Casella for the donation of sand, Brett Jackson and the Bethlehem Town crew for the removal of the equipment, Presby Construction for the dumpster donation, the staff of Lowes (thanks for the great turn out), Profile School for the use of their tractor, and all of the volunteers who helped to build the structure.
For those who were not mentioned, your efforts did not go unnoticed. We would like to thank you in person at our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on October 1 from 4:30-6:00 pm at the playground. There will be live music provided by White/Steer and Alburritos’ food truck will have dinner available for purchase or bring your own and have a picnic. We would love for you to join us and see firsthand the joy you have provided for our students and local community.
Thank you once again,
The Staff and Students of Bethlehem Elementary School
