September Updates: Let's Keep the Momentum Going!

Dear Bethany Families,

As we move into September, it’s exciting to feel the cooler weather and the energy that comes with the new school year! We hope everyone has settled into their routines and is looking forward to all the fantastic events coming up.

We’re excited to kick off our After School Programs this September. These programs offer a fantastic way for students to explore new interests, learn new skills, and have fun with friends after the school day ends. Don’t miss out—check the newsletter for details and get your child signed up today. Family Game Night is also just around the corner. Mark your calendars for Friday, September 20th, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. This free event is a great opportunity to meet other Bethany families. Please see details below to register in advance.  

A big shoutout to everyone who participated in our PTA General Membership Meeting! Your thoughts and feedback are invaluable, and we’d love to see even more parents and staff attend the next few meetings. Check the newsletter for upcoming dates and be sure to save them.

We always need more hands on deck! If you’re looking for a way to get involved, volunteering is a fantastic option. Whether it’s helping at events, assisting with after-school programs, or contributing behind the scenes, there’s a place for everyone. Don’t forget to complete your volunteer application and background check for this year at Plano Voly.

As always, we’re grateful for your continued support and involvement. Our Bethany PTA Executive Board is here to listen to your ideas and feedback. Feel free to reach out to me directly at president@bethanypta.org with any suggestions, questions, or if you’d like to volunteer. Let’s keep building connections and making this a wonderful year for our children!

Warmly,
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!
