Properties of Matter Really Matter!

Talk about hands on learning! This science investigation in 2nd grade was so fun - especially for the teachers to watch the students' reactions. Learning about the properties of matter has never been so... gooey! #sent2serve #bethanyproud

Celebrating the 100th Day of In Person Learning

Our teachers and staff are having a great time getting in on the 100s days action.~ We've seriously aged over night!

Principal for a Day!

It was a big day today for Principal Gervasio! He’s been extremely busy and professional today on our 100th day of school! From checking fire alarms, to observing teachers, delivering pizza, making announcements to the entire school for extra recess, signing papers, and drinking his morning hot chocolate, he’s done a great job! He will go on to be a wonderful leader. We are so glad he was able to win this auction item. #bethanyproud #Sent2Serve

So Proud of our Alumni

Bolingbrook HS records and publishes class ranks. Wouldn’t you know, our Bethany grads all rank in the TOP 20 of their respective classes. Bethany prepares students incredibly well for high school, and gives them a firm foundation in their faith.

Words can’t say how proud we are of these alumni and their amazing accomplishments. Go change the world!!

Fresh Snow!

Oh what fun it is to play in the today! Our preschoolers were the first to romp around on our fresh snow-covered playground. As you can see, it's great to be 3, 4 & 5 years old! #bethanyproud

Real Life Rewards

Our first graders are learning about money, and what better way to understand it than to earn it and spend it! All week long our kiddos have been earning money through various activities, and the week culminates with a school store. Our staff cashiers will be checking them out this afternoon. #bethanyproud #Sent2Serve

ALL HERE!

For the first time all year, every one of our 1st graders is learning in-person at school! It's truly a day to celebrate the joy of our family being back together again. The kids have been so busy learning, but also having fun in the snow at recess. We praise God for this incredible opportunity to love one another face-to-face! #bethanyproud #Sent2Serve

STEM Learning in 2nd Grade

After learning about how God designed beavers to build dams, and about states of matter, 2nd graders were ready to take on the challenge of designing, building, and testing a dam to change the flow of water. Check out their unique Lego dams! #bethanyproud
