A message from PTA:

Dear Mt. Bethel Friends and Families,

Thank you all for supporting the Boosterthon Fundraiser!! It was a huge success and it is because of the families and friends of Mt. Bethel Elementary that our school continues to be "Anchored in Excellence." Please remember that you have another chance to turn in your pledge for the laps that your child/children ran during the Boosterthon Fun Run. Thursday, September 17th is last day to turn in your collections. Please send your pledges in by this date. You may send cash or a check made out to Mt. Bethel PTA. A big plus for our awesome teachers, they will receive 10% of the collection from their class. Again, thank you all for continuing to support our programs.

See you all around school.

Sincerely, Kara Searcy and Jessica Cooper

Mt. Bethel PTA Co-Presidents
