Our 2nd graders love to celebrate the Chinese New Year! They study Ancient China and their inventions, learn about modern culture & language (complete with learning a song about Jesus in Chinese and English), sample tasty cuisine, and talk about what religion looks like in another country. Their entire art curriculum is woven into their unit study, and they finish with a Dragon Parade to all the classrooms and a party! Congratulations, Mrs. Janetzke on a job well done! #bethanyproud
Arrrrr, get ready for our Pirate-Themed Literacy Night!
Culver's Night is a great opportunity for fellowship while dining with your Bethany Family!
We've got Bethany Spirit!
Lutheran Schools Week is always a great time to celebrate our long-standing heritage
I thank God for Bethany because....
“You get to learn about God”
Before and After Care
Our Before and After Care is a huge blessing to our families. Thanks so much to Mrs. Downs, Mrs. Stehle, and everyone who loves on our students during these times! (Opens at 715 am until 6 pm).
We are on a mission from God
It’s a little different from the Blues Brothers’ Mission….. Our mission is to train, equip, and support witnesses for His Kingdom, but what does that look like? Here are just some of the ways:
TRAIN: high academic standards, Christian morals and values, respectable and productive members of society, Christian mentoring and role models
EQUIP: Immersed in the Bible, 10 commandments, catechism, apologetics, prayer, chapel
SUPPORT: prayer, physical and emotional care, opportunities to live faith, a family who loves one another
Bethany has so much to offer!
Let us count the ways....
How do Bethany teachers show our students we love and care for them?
❤️We pray with and for your children
❤️We attend their sporting events, concerts, programs, and activities
❤️We give them responsibility and set firm boundaries
❤️We praise God together in chapel and with song
❤️We nurture their passions and encourage them to develop their God-given talent
❤️We give them opportunities to live out their faith with their classmates, friends, and in the community
❤️We treat each child as a blessing from the Lord, because that's who they are!
Join our Schola Cantorum (Singing School)
Schola Cantorum is a wonderful choral music education learning experience, and the best part is that it is tuition-free! Inexpensive, but not cheap, and truly rewarding. If you or anybody you know in grades K-12 might be interested in joining, please have them contact Cantor Giuliani at mgiuliani@bethanylcs.org to schedule an audition.
Social and Emotional Learning
Our 2nd Step program (our social and emotional learning program) helps to teach children how to read body cues, how to use self-talk, how to resolve problems, and so much more!
Enjoying every moment
Watching these sweet children play together, without a care in the world, can inspire us to take it one day (moment) at a time. The Lord implores us to do this in Matthew chapter 6:
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? .... “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Jesus be with you, now and always!
Unique, Special, and Loved by God
Our learning goes way beyond the academic. Our first graders not only learned the technical skills involved with creating a self-portrait, but we can also teach them that they are unique, special, and loved in the eyes of God. They are made in His image, and they are fearfully and wonderfully made! What true comfort and peace this brings!
Boys Volleyball Team takes 3rd!
A hard-fought come back earned our young men 3rd place at our own Tournament. We also had a fun cheering section and the cutest concession salesman on the planet! Our volleyball tournaments help to offset the costs of sports at Bethany, and each sport only costs $50 to participate.
Dedicated Parents Serving at Bethany
This dedicated group of parents and grandparents is helping to plan many activities to make our students’ lives more meaningful and fun! Special thanks to our PTL for their hearts of service to BLCS!
Class Pets at Bethany
God made all creatures big and small, and our class pets make a difference in the lives of our students. From Mr. Fluffy in 6th grade (a dwarf hamster), to Charlie (a bearded dragon in 1st), Waylon our Library Dog, and this little snake in PreK named Wrigley, we love to love on our animals!
M.C. Escher at Bethany
Do you remember studying M.C. Escher in school? We have some aspiring artists in our school! Thanks to Mrs. Staunch for sharing her endless passion for the arts with our students. We love you Mrs. Staunch!
Away We Go! Building Rockets in Science
What better way to learn than by doing! The sixth graders are learning about earth science and specifically rockets, balanced and unbalanced forces, and air dynamics.
They are currently building their own rockets! The launch will be this Friday. Standby for updates in Three… Two… One…
Making Predictions in Preschool!
Making predictions in Preschool! With our “Humpty Dumpty” unit, the students will egg-speriment with different materials to decide if they will break or not. So egg-citing!
