FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH. WOWZA!
BABY BUMP WATCH - THE NEXT NEW BUCCANEER! CONGRATULATIONS TO LAUREN, JOEY AND BEAU ROBINSON!
MT. BETHEL RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SCHOOLS BY MR. RAGSDALE!
BUCCANEER BRAVOS
- At Leadership and Learning on Thursday, Mr. Ragsdale recognized several schools for performance on last year's Georgia Milestones. Mt. Bethel was one of the schools he recognized! When we met as a Walton Cluster, Walton's principal Catherine Mallanda shared that WHS had a record number of National Merit Scholars. She gave the credit to what we do in K-8 that allows our graduating seniors to earn this recognition.
- Way to go for a great first week of FACT Clubs! Thank you to each of our staff members who run a club and to all who made dismissal work each day!
- WOOT for EVERYONE who made testing happen this week! WOW, Third Grade, you get a prize. Our make-up champions: Kellie and Mary are so appreciated!
