NIGHT OF THE ARTS  Don't forget!!!!  This Friday everyone is invited to our "Night of the Arts" from 6:00-8:00 at the Germantown campus.  Please see this week's  flyer for more details.  We look forward to a wonderful evening and hope you can join us!

Thank you to all who offered to prepare appetizers for our upcoming "Night of the Arts."  What a gala event it will be!  The appetizers themselves will be worth coming, not to mention the fantastic art work.  Please bring the artistic delicacies directly to the kitchen, preferably earlier than the starting time of 6:00.  Some things can be brought Thursday evening as we will be setting up, if the snack can endure 24 hours!  Thank you!  Mrs. Weber

ATTENTION…ALL SPRING CLEANERS Don't know what to do with all those crafty notions, paint, beads, etc that are sitting around taking up precious storage space??  Then I have the solution for you.  The Bethlehem Art department is always willing to take those extra items off your hands and put them into the classrooms!  We can use anything from acrylic paints, glitter, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, yarn, scrapbook paper scraps, scissors, glue, punches, margarine tubs, Styrofoam meat trays, etc....you get the picture.  Your "junk" could become our "treasure".  Feel free to drop off any unwanted items to Mrs. Granberg.  The students and I thank you!  Mrs. Granberg

JUNIOR CHOIR  This weekend we will sing for the final time this school year.   We will be singing for the Fine Arts Night in Germantown on Friday night.  Please meet in the Third Grade classroom at 6:45 P.M.  Performance time will be 7:00 P.M.  You will be free to leave after we sing.  We also sing on Sunday, May 11, at the 10:30 A.M. service in Menomonee Falls.  We will meet in the Fifth grade classroom at 10:15 A.M. to warm up.  Thank you for your dedication and hard work this year.    Miss Moldenhauer

Below are a few other notes for the meet:  Spikes are not allowed at any time.  Concessions will be available at the meet.  Places in the running events will be determined by time, regardless of how they did in their heat.  If an athlete is in a running and a field event at the same time, they should check in with the field event judge and tell them that they will be running. Then the athlete should come back to the field event after they have done their running event, especially if they are supposed to do the high jump.

We encourage everyone to have fun and to display proper Christian sportsmanship to give glory to our Lord!
