Co-Presidents' Message

Good afternoon, Mt. Bethel families!

        We hope everyone had the best Spring Break week and are ready to jump right back into all the wonderful opportunities PTA has coming up this week and for the rest of the school year.

🎒 This Tuesday, April 14th, current fourth and fifth grade parents are invited to a discussion featuring our own MBES school social worker and the counselors from Dodgen and Dickerson as they share tips for navigating middle school. More information is below.

🌼 Our annual Spring Thing & Art Show is taking place this Friday, April 17th from 6-8 pm. Come join your fellow Buccaneers for an evening of food trucks and FUN! If you want to pre-purchase your child's work before Friday night, you can visit the online Art Show now.

🗑 We also have Campus Cleanup taking place on Sunday, April 19 from 2-4 pm. You can register below, but day-of walk-ups are welcome, too!

🍎 And lastly, MBES has a real need for lunch helpers for the rest of this school year. Please take a look at the sign-up below; the school is grateful for any time you are able to give.


We look forward to seeing you on campus!
