BETHANY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Celebrating 50 Years of BCS - Meet Miss Bell! 🐾

Miss Bell is excited to begin her 27th year at Bethany Christian School, a place that has always felt like a second home. Bethany holds an especially meaningful place in her heart because it is also her alma mater. She attended Bethany from the age of two through sixth grade, which was the highest grade offered at the time.

One of the things Miss Bell has always treasured most about Bethany is its strong sense of family. She also loves that the school serves as one of the largest ministries of Bethany Church, providing students with an education rooted in faith and community.

As Bethany celebrates its 50th year, Miss Bell is grateful to be part of this special milestone and looks forward with excitement to seeing what God has in store for Bethany over the next 50 years! 🦁

Our first graders have been studying life cycles in plants and animals. As part of their study they took a trip to Whole Foods to learn how foods make it from farm to table. They also kept caterpillars in their classroom, saw them form cocoons, and then released them when they became butterflies! #biology #lifecycle #firstgrade #wholefoods #fieldtrip
