Welcome back, Bobcats!  I can't wait to see all of my smiling faces around the building!  I hope that you had a fantastic break and that you were able to get in some summer reading fun. Stop by and say "hello!"

I'd like to wish everyone in the Bethke community a happy and safe summer! A huge "thank you" to parents for their support as well as to students for all of their hard work. 
I encourage my Bobcats to continue reading this summer (see reading lists on "Handouts/Resources" page) as well as to celebrate books by visiting their local library.  If anyone needs to get in touch with me, I will be checking my email sporadically throughout summer.  School resumes August 22nd.

I will miss all of my Bobcats!  Enjoy the season and HAPPY READING!!!!!!!!!!
