Announcing the Jacobs Gallery 2012…Talents of Tomorrow

The Jacobs Gallery is located downstairs in the Hult Performance Center.

 

All Bethel students, ages 13 – 18 are invited to submit a single work of art created within one year prior to the deadline date of April 16, 2012, for this gallery show. If your piece is accepted for the show, you will be notified with further details.  Students should read the Guidelines and complete an online EntryForm.

Here is all you need for your students to take part in the 2012 Lane County Spelling Contest. Contact Tereasa Hanley to sign up and let her know who in your building will coordinate the contest.

Here are the words for each of the three divisions:

Division 1 Word List:  grades 1-5

Division 2 Word List:  grades 6-8

Division 3 Word List:  grades 9-12

Each school must first determine their top speller in each division by April 27, 2012.  Scores will be sent to Tereasa Hanley and compared with other schools in Bethel. The District Champion in each division will go on to the County level to compete at Lane ESD on Wednesday, May 23^rd.  

 The first place winner for each division (elementary, middle and high) from the County competition will advance to the Oregon Statwide Championship. This competition will be held September 1, 2012 during the Oregon State Fair.

Bethel’s Math Leadership Team (MLT) will meet on Thursday, February 9^th from 8:00 to 11:30 at the Lane ESD.  Teachers and administrators will learn more about the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and the Smarter Balanced Assessment. The MLT’s goal by the end of this school year, is to develop a plan to successfully start transitioning to the CCSS in the fall.

 You know these kids. They’re the ones you can’t forget, the determined students who are fighting to overcome some incredible obstacles in their lives.

 Many Bethel kids are being helped by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lane County. It turns out that BBBS is trying to improve the way it relates to young people, just like we are. BBBS recently received training on Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports – PBIS – from Rhonda Ehlers, Bethel’s PBIS Coordinator.

“We’re beginning first steps toward improving quality services for program participants and for our team members. Thank you very much for all your help; it truly has been delightful to collaborate with you!”  – Sari Pascoe, CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lane County.

 BBBS currently serves 17 students in our school district.  There are eight unforgettable kids still on a waiting list hoping for a mentor.  If you, or someone you know, might be interested in volunteering with this program, contact BBBS at (541) 344-0833.
