We're almost to our goal!! We've raised an amazing $2,624 so far—thank you to everyone who has contributed!
Tomorrow, Friday, Jan 20, is your last chance to help us reach our goal of $3,000. The final count will happen at 1PM tomorrow!
If we reach our school-wide goal of $3,000, all the students will enjoy a day of music at lunch and recess! And more importantly, we will have the funds to purchase a new Crest Climber for the playground.
Our current top four teachers are: Schmitt, Sheehan, Courogen, and Kelley. Remember, the top four teachers or staff at the end of the Dollar War will have to wear a silly hat at school!
So much can still change in the final hours of this fundraiser—bring in your change to help your favorite teacher reach the top. Don't forget, pennies and bills add points while silver coins subtract points, so use those coins wisely!
Good luck, Bobcats!

OBOB Update
OBOB battles between teams registered in our school will begin next week on January 25th. All teams will battle twice, and the top 8 teams with the highest cumulative scores will advance to the elimination round. The battle schedule is posted on the library bulletin board and communicated to the parents via email.
We had a slideshow and mock battle for all teams to observe on January 19th.
I want to thank our dedicated library volunteers who have signed up to help run the battles. I am looking forward to energized battles full of fun and friendly competition.
I hope all the teams enjoyed reading the book selection, have fun during the battles and display good sportsmanship.
Good luck to all the teams!

We only have two volunteers so far for our most important fundraiser of the year, the annual Jog-a-Thon—we need your help! If you are interested in being a part of this committee, please contact Skyler at vice-president@bspto.org and we will put your skills to use to support this key event.
Thank you!
Leave a Lasting Print at Bethany Elementary!
With each $150 donation your personal message will be etched on a charm and permanently hung on the central fence of Bethany Elementary School Playground. The money raised will go towards funding playground improvements and future PTO projects!
Complete this google form to secure your charm. A member of the PTO will contact you to confirm your charm text and arrange payment.
Overdue Library Books
We need your help! We have a LOT of overdue and missing library books from last year (and this year too). Ms. Hussain will be sending out overdue notices with the list of titles that your child(ren) have checked out.
PLEASE look around your homes, cars, Grandma's house, or anywhere a book may be hiding! 🙂 The books that have been marked as "lost" have fines attached. If this is a hardship for your family, please reach out to Ms. Hussain or Mr. Parker and we can work with you.
We would much rather have the BOOKS than the money to replace them. Let's see how many we can return before Winter Break! Thank you!!
Bethany Social Media
We are on Social Media! We have been posting fun pictures and videos, so be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook. You can click on the links below and still see the posts without having these apps.
We are in the process of taking pictures from different areas of the school. We may post pictures or videos, but there will be no names associated with the pictures. If you would prefer that we don't publish a picture of your child, please send me an email to: Sue_Kropilak@beaverton.k12.or.us
