PRINCIPAL'S NEWSSince it is July 1, I am officially the new principal at Bethlehem Elementary School and couldn’t be more excited! I have had the privilege of working at BES since 1989 and have had a variety of professional experiences that should help me in my new role. I have taught 6th grade, 5th grade, 3rd grade, been RtI Coordinator/Reading Writing Specialist, and, most recently, Student Services Coordinator (Guidance Counselor). Each of these opportunities has helped me to see the students through many lenses. I feel very lucky to know every child in the building and many families as well. As a resident of Bethlehem and a parent of two children who attended BES, I am committed to this community and its school. Please don’t hesitate to stop in to say hello. My goal is to have some type of contact with every family at BES! Enjoy your summer, and I look forward to the start of the school year on August 26. Stay tuned for more details about an evening presentation for parents about a new program called Conscious Discipline that will be practiced at BES next year. It will take place the night of August 20. Here are some words about this world renowned program from the Harvard School of Education: Conscious Discipline provides an array of behavior management strategies that parents and teachers can use to turn everyday situations into learning opportunities. When parents and educators work together as a team, great things happen for kids and I can't think of a better place for that to happen than at BES! Mrs. Sue Greenlaw |
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
