🌟 Celebrating Our Buzz-Worthy Staff Member of the Week! 🌟

This week, Mr. Cochran passed the honor to Mrs. Christmas, and his words say it all:

“As a first-year teacher, I am learning so much from all the people around me. Mrs. Christmas has been such a huge part of my journey so far, and I cannot imagine where I would be without her advice and guidance. She works so hard—for her students and for others—and that work should not go unnoticed!”

When asked to choose one word to describe her, he chose: Admirable.

💛 Thank you, Mrs. Christmas, for the incredible heart, dedication, and support you bring to Bethel Middle School every single day. We appreciate you! 💛
