Last night we celebrated a very special ending to a cross country season with an outdoor bonfire! We are so thankful to our coaches, parents, and students for a wonderful cross country season. We are so proud of the effort that our students put in. We had some first timers, some seasoned veterans, and some in between. Here’s praying for a track season to follow! #Bethanyproud
Election Day!
This week Bethany students have been learning about, following, and taking part in the election process. Whether it's voting for your favorite farm animal, book character, or choice in our Bethany presidential election, everyone made their voice heard!
Our Rock Star Runner!
October 26 was Sydney Gertsen day in recognition of our 2019 National Cross County Champion! Sydney is currently a 7th grader and remained undefeated in this year's cross country season. We celebrated her in ROYAL fashion with a banner, mask, and treating her to a freaky fast Jimmy John's lunch. All classes enjoyed extra recess minutes to celebrate! Way to go Sydney! #bethanyproud
Our incredible staff

Classroom Pets
Meet our newest “classmates”- Peaches N’ Cream and Pumpkin Spice! Looking forward to seeing our students grow and develop through real-life experiences!
Train up a child...
We are so thankful to Richard Wistocki with Be Sure Consulting for his incredible presentation about Internet safety today. Ask your fourth through eighth graders what they learned!
We will also be sending home parent videos so you can learn more. These videos will empower you to have meaningful conversations with your child at home.
We love partnering with parents to train up a child in the way that he should go! #Bethanyproud #sent2serve

4th and 5th grade art
Here are a few samples of our 4th and 5th grade art projects. Since parents aren’t in the building right now we will bring the art to you! Isn’t it beautiful? #Bethanyproud
Aztec Inspired Art
How beautiful are these Aztec inspired art projects? Way to go, 3rd grade! Very well done! #Bethanyproud
Outstanding Owls
Our kindergarten students are working on their fine motor skills, how to create texture, and learning about nocturnal animals. The personality of each child shines through! #Bethanyproud
Real Life Math
What better way to learn about dividing fractions than by practicing with real life recipes! #bethanyproud #sent2serve
Marty and Randy
It’s time to get creative, Royals! We are issuing a writing challenge to our second through eighth graders at Bethany. These adorable handmade forest animals will be the subject of a creative writing story, and the winner will take them home. Mrs. Dunwell will be judging the writing on creativity, conflict resolution, and the teaching of a moral or value. Each of the classes got to “meet” Marty and Randall today and ask questions. Best of luck to all of our writers! Handwritten submissions (along with a typed final draft if desired) are due by October 31 to Mrs. Fox. Go Royals!
Kindergarten Learning
It’s a busy day in kindergarten! Cutting, drawing, sorting, gluing, vocab words, learning about community and firefighters and first responders, and so much more! #bethanyproud #sent2serve
the Royal Run
Today we kicked off our Royal Run! The students run a quarter mile at a time throughout the year, and by the end of the year, they will have run 26.2 miles. Thanks to Mr. Baganz for organizing a great day. We paired it with a BLS Spirit Day; check out the beautiful spirit our kids have! #bethanyproud #Sent2Serve
We ❤️ having pastors in our classrooms!
The "eyes" have it!
“....for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.””
Luke 2:30-32
Enjoy these pencil drawings by some of our Jr. High students!
Celebrating our Alumnae!
Let's celebrate Bethany Alumnae Brittany and Fran today! Fran is a Human Biology major on the Pre-Med track, and Brittany is is studying Psychology and Church Ministry at Concordia Wisconsin. Please take a moment to pray for these beautiful and talented ladies today!
Fun fact: They have been friends for 13 years (since Kindergarten at Bethany Lutheran School!) and became even closer in High School as they encouraged one another in their Christian walk. Good friends in the Lord are a blessing!
1st Cross Country race of the season!
1st race of the season! So proud of these kids who ran tough despite rainy weather. Thanks to the coaches, fans, and teachers who came out to support our Royals! #bethanyproud
The Lord is with us, always!
Our 2nd graders are learning about Creation, the Flood, and God's promises during religion class. The Lord is with us always!
"...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28
Welcome to His Kingdom!
God bless this beautiful child in her baptism! We welcome her with loving arms to God's kingdom, and pray for a blessed life in Christ.
