From the countless volunteers who gave their time and talents to help plan, set up, run activities, serve food, and clean up afterward, your dedication made this years end-of-year Carnival a huge success. We are so grateful for every parent, student, staff member, and community supporter who contributed to making the day special.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect, the food was absolutely delicious, and the smiles, laughter, and fellowship shared throughout the afternoon reminded us what makes our school community so special.

The School Carnival was the perfect way to celebrate and close out an incredible year together. Thank you for helping create memories that our students and families will cherish for years to come.

We are blessed by such a supportive and caring community. Here's to a fantastic summer and another wonderful year ahead!

This week marks a full year in our new location at Christian Reformed Church in Princeton, and we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude.
From the moment we began planning our move to the church and throughout this entire school year, the congregation and leadership at Bethel have welcomed us with open arms. Their generosity, flexibility, and genuine care have made this transition not only possible, but truly meaningful for our students, staff, and families.
We are so thankful for the ways they have supported us—through shared spaces, encouragement, assistance during the move, and the many small acts of kindness that have made us feel at home. Their partnership has been a blessing to our school community in countless ways.
Completing our first year here is a milestone we do not take for granted, and it would not have been possible without Their ongoing support and hospitality.
We are truly grateful to be part of such a welcoming and caring community. Thank you, Bethel Christian Reformed Church , for walking alongside us and helping us thrive in this new chapter.

Our hearts are full as we reflect on this year's On the Farm Gala at Windland Flats. We are deeply grateful for the incredible support from our community, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and guests who helped make this event such a memorable success.
As our school's largest annual fundraiser, the On the Farm Gala plays a vital role in supporting our mission and helping keep our school running smoothly throughout the year. Your generosity and commitment directly impact our students, staff, and programs, and we are truly thankful for every contribution.
We loved celebrating with each of you and creating an evening filled with connection, laughter, and purpose. The support shown by our community reminds us just how fortunate we are to be surrounded by people who believe in our school and its future.
As we close the chapter on this year's gala, we're already looking forward to gathering together again next year. We can't wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable evening on the farm!
Stay tuned! The date for next year's On the Farm Gala will be announced later this summer, and trust us—you won't want to miss it!
Thank you again for your unwavering support and for helping ensure our school continues to thrive. We'll see you next year!
