Message From Our President

Dear Bethany Families,

As we approach the final weeks of the school year, we want to express our deep gratitude to our teachers, staff, and the incredible support we receive from parents and community members each day. Your commitment to the success and well-being of our Bethany students is truly remarkable and forms the bedrock of our school community.

We're excited to announce our upcoming Spring Carnival on May 3rd, a joyful occasion for all of us to come together and celebrate the school year. This event promises fun-filled activities and opportunities for families to connect and create lasting memories. More details will follow in the newsletter.

Additionally, please consider joining our PTA Executive Board or taking on Committee Chair roles for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. Volunteering with the PTA provides a fulfilling opportunity to make a significant impact while fostering connections with fellow parents and staff members. If you're interested in learning more or getting involved, please feel free to reach out to me at president@bethanypta.org.

Please mark your calendars for our upcoming General Membership Meeting (GMM) on April 24th from 6:30 to 7:30 PM (virtual). During this meeting, we will hold elections for the 2024-2025 PTA Executive Board. This presents an opportunity to engage with the PTA and share your ideas. We encourage all parents to participate in this upcoming meeting. We look forward to seeing you all virtually!

Wishing you all the best,

Anu Shekar, President, Bethany PTA 2023-2024
