Notes From the Principal's Office
At Bethel Elementary, we are all about empowering kids to achieve their goals by establishing a growth mindset. Our Power of Yet theme is a tool that we are using to show students that with hard work, they can accomplish things that they once could not do. We expect our students to be relentless in their efforts to achieve their goals and we are extremely proud of all of their efforts.
Coming Soon to Bethel Elementary
The Peacemaker Program is a Student Leadership program designed to train a team of select 3rd,4th, 5th, and 6th grade Peacemakers to assist peers in solving problems, provide tools for conflict resolution, and peer mediation on the playground and in the classroom. The Peacemakers are elected by their peers and will receive specific training on conflict resolution and the Peacemakers program.
In the coming weeks you will begin to receive more information about Peacemakers. Our students will learn how to resolve a conflict by working through the “Peace Path” with the support of a Peacemaker elected by his or her peers.
If your child is elected, and expresses interest in taking on this important leadership role in our school, there will be a permission form coming home. Look for more information coming soon in your child’s take home folder!
