Bindergarten Is Ready For Kindergarteners
Volunteers from the Eugene Airport Rotary label hundreds of books to be given out to Bethel’s incoming Kindergartners.
Every family attending one of Bethel’s upcoming Kindergarten Orientation events will take home a new book courtesy of the Eugene Airport Rotary.
Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready For Kindergarten is a rhyming book designed to ease the worries of children (and parents) who are anxious about the first day of Kindergarten.
The Airport Rotary has purchased enough copies of the book for every new incoming Kindergartner, and has now prepared each book to hand out to kids.
Bethel’s Kindergarten Orientations, February 10-12, will introduce children and their families to plans for Full-Day Kindergarten this fall.
School tours are also available during the week of February 2nd.
Health Center Offers Immunization Clinic
The February 10th immunization clinic will help ensure students are not excluded from school.
Students need to have updated immunizations to avoid being excluded from school next month. The Bethel Health Center is ready to help with an Immunization Clinic, February 10th from 2:30-5:00 p.m.
Immunizations will be available for all students. The Health Center will bill insurance, or for those who are uninsured the Health Center will charge a fee by sliding scale.
Bring the student’s immunization records to the Bethel Student Health Center, located inside Cascade Middle School.
