Important Updates From Our Home and School Association
SAVE THE DATE: With Parent/Teacher conferences (Nov 25-27) and Thanksgiving Break (Nov 28-29) this week, not much new to report for all things HSA, but heads up that several cool things are on the way in the next coming weeks:
Friday, December 6th - Pretzel Sale/Hearts to Home Fundraiser: It’s not your mother’s typical Pretzel Friday Sale. ;) In addition to purchasing a pretzel for snack for $1, you can make a donation that will go directly to the Hearts to Home organization which supports local families in need. Look for more information coming soon!
Monday, December 9th (11:30am-10:00pm) - Dining for Dollars at Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza: Visit Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in Wilmington, DE between 11:30am-10:00pm, and mention Bethel Springs while checking out to help the HSA earn 20% of the day’s profits!
Thursday, December 19th (11am-9pm) - Dining for Dollars at Sweet Frog: Visit Sweet Frog in Glen Mills before or after the 4th/5th Grade Chorus Concert, and mention Bethel Springs while checking out to help the HSA earn 20% of the day’s profits!
WELCOME TO VENMO: The BSES HSA is doing what all the cool kids are doing these days; we have a Venmo account! We will definitely let you know when @BSES-HSA is an available payment method in the future, but for now we’re just patting ourselves on the back for joining the 21st century. ;)
CHARLESTON WRAP FUNDRAISER: If you did not pick up your order during the Book Fair, please head to the BSES Office where the remaining orders are currently stored. If you are heading in for a Parent/Teacher conference, this would be a great time to stop in to pick up your order. Thank you again for your support!
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR CORNER: As the Book Fair officially wraps up, check out this special section of the HSA eAlert to stay up to date on all things Arctic Adventure!
EWALLET CONTEST WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Wow, Bethel Springs, we had just shy of 200 students register for eWallet! Doing so helped make time spent on line waiting to check out with books at the Book Fair move more smoothly, and so the Book Fair Committee thanks everybody who participated!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT:
Scholastic Book Fair: Our Arctic Adventure Scholastic Book Fair was another huge success this year, and much of that was due to all of the amazing parent volunteers who helped out in various ways.
