PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
May 2018
Hello Wildcat Families,
As we begin our last month together at Bethune and before we end school to start our summer break, I want to remind you about some of the wonderful and exciting events that we have experienced this final trimester. First, we have had a lot of fun with our PTO. We thank this group of amazing parents who work so hard to make sure our students have fun activities on campus. We enjoyed the dances and definitely got excited for the Jog-a-Thon. Together we were able to raise much-needed funds for our school programs and incentives. Thank you again PTO. Second, we have had fun raising money for March of Dimes. Thank you to Ms. Iniguez and her team of phenomenal teachers who put together several fun events as we raised money to help this worthwhile campaign. As the kids put it, “We are helping to save babies.” Thank you to Mr. Grijalva for volunteering to be duct-taped to a wall. I think he had lots of fun, I know the kids did! Last, a huge thanks to ASB and Mrs. Looper for sponsoring the painting of our four beautiful handball walls. Our Rancho Verde art students did a wonderful job making murals out of artwork submitted by our students.
This last month will be very busy as we complete our state testing (CAASPP) and wrap up projects and assignments before our Trimester Awards Assemblies. We are looking forward to our Trimester 3 Perfect Attendance art party, our 100 Bethune Bucks Super Celebration and our Perfect Attendance Party for students who have perfect attendance for the entire year. We are also looking forward to our Volunteer Breakfast where we can honor parents who have volunteered and helped make a difference in their child’s classroom and on campus. May is a busy month and we are looking forward to the activities and events here at Bethune. I thank all of our staff and parents who are making these events memorable and are an important part of our school culture.
I am so proud of all our students and their hard work each day to be “Future Ready.” I can’t wait to celebrate all their successes at our Trimester Awards and I look forward to seeing all of our amazing families at the ceremonies.
Warmly,
Principal Katrina Piché
