Day of Service

Here are a few more pictures of our Day of Service! Kindergarten sent our Thank you Veterans Video to be played at Hines VA Hospital and notes to nursing homes, 1st grade is focusing on thank you notes for essential workers and made dog treats for a local shelter, 2nd grade is making bracelets for MOST Ministries, 3rd grade is making bracelets and decorating our Bethany Campus for Christmas, and 4 - 8th grade are cleaning up Modaff Road to beautify Naperville! #bethanyproud #sent2serve

Mission Minded

As part of our Day of Service, our 2nd graders are making bracelets to send to MOST Ministries. This group focuses on short term missions to spread the Gospel of Jesus to those who don't know Him. MOST uses each of the beads to explain about Christianity, and we are thrilled to partner with them in this mission! We used a Thrivent Action Team to purchase the supplies; they sent us t-shirts which the kids can take home. We love our Day of Service! #bethanyproud #sent2serve #livegenerously

Cross Country Banquet

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

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

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

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!

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!
