Kicking Off a Great Year: Welcome Back, Bethany Families!

I hope the first week back to school has been fantastic for all our Bethany families! It’s wonderful to welcome each of you to the 2024-2025 school year. We were thrilled to meet so many of you in person at the Meet the Teacher event, and we’re excited to continue building connections throughout the year.

As we embrace our theme, "Bethany Elementary: Where Every Connection Counts," we encourage all families to become involved in our PTA. Your participation—whether big or small—makes a lasting impact on our school community. If you haven’t already, please consider getting a PTA membership by visiting our website: Bethany PTA Website.

Volunteering is another great way to contribute! To volunteer, parents must complete a new background check for this school year. You can submit your volunteer application/background check at Plano Voly.

Keep an eye on our PTA website and follow our Bethany PTA Facebook page for updates on the exciting events we have planned. We’ll be posting all the details there and sharing them through the PTA newsletter. We’re always looking for more volunteers, and our Executive Board is eager to work alongside you to support our school. 


A huge thank you to our incredible teachers and staff at Bethany for their dedication and hard work. Your efforts make our school a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow. We’re also grateful to our Bethany families for your ongoing support and involvement. Together, we make Bethany Elementary a special place.

Good luck to all the students, teachers, and staff as we embark on this journey together. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me anytime at president@bethanypta.org.

Warm regards,

Anu Shekar
Bethany PTA President 2024-2025

Staff Snack Cart

This year at Bethany, we’re dedicated to showing our support and appreciation for our incredible staff. One of the ways we’re doing this is by introducing a Snack Cart that will make its rounds through the school once a month, filled with tasty treats!

To make this initiative a success, we’re inviting donations of individually wrapped snacks such as chips, cookies, popcorn, pretzels, candy, or drinks. If you’d like to contribute, please drop off your donations at the front office, labeled “Snack Cart.”

Thank you for helping us bring a little extra cheer to our wonderful staff!
