Good evening!  This is Dr. Moore-Lawrence, proud principal of Bethesda Elementary with the Principal Spotlight for May 9th-May 13th.  This week’s quote is “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.” —Unknown. Our students are blessed to have mothers and mother figures who care for them.  Thank you for your support and all that you do.  Please listen to the updates about what’s happening at Bethesda.

 

REMINDERS AND UPDATES
