We had a fantastic time at our Incoming 6th Grade Parent Night last night! 💙🐝 It was wonderful to welcome the over 250 families who joined us last night as we prepare for the 2025-2026 school year. Mr. Sims shared great insights about what to expect in middle school, and our Student Council and teachers led tours throughout the building. We were so excited to meet everyone and can’t wait to work with our future Bethel Hornets! #bethebest #bethelfamily #bryantproud
✨ Science Class Spotlight ✨
Today, Mr. Christmas's 6th grade science students worked on a "Pony Bead Lab" to explore the concept of adaptation. They discovered that beads in different colors were much easier to find and pick up than those that matched the color of the sheet on their desk! This hands-on activity helped them understand how animals adapt to their surroundings for survival! Great job, Bethel Hornets! 🕵️💙 #bethebest
✨ Math Class Spotlight ✨
Our 7th grade math classes put their heads together today to explore probability! They tackled the question: What are the chances of drawing a vowel out of the word MATHEMATICAL? With fun, hands-on stations, students worked as a team to solve the problem and sharpen their math skills! 🔢💪 #bethebest
☀️🥣 It’s that time of year again! We’re collecting breakfast items for the THV11 Summer Cereal Drive and the Arkansas Foodbank all month long!!
Students can drop off donations in their Hornet Time class – the class with the most donations will earn an extra recess! Our school-wide goal is 350 items (double last year’s goal), and if we hit it, Officer B., Mr. Sims, and Mr. Nivens will take on the ultimate challenge of eating some CRAZY weird cereal! 🔥
Let’s show our generous spirit and make a positive impact in our community! 💙 #bethebest #ARFoodbank #THV11SCD
