Something NEW just landed in our school! We are excited to introduce our Book Vending Machine. The goal is to put more books in students' hands. Our bobcats will earn tokens by meeting reading goals. Then they 'buy' a book. Promoting literacy has never felt so cool!

The state's report card has been released and @BethlehemES_HCS has made great gains. Thanks to the hard work of the staff, students, and families, we saw a 15.8 point increase in our score from 2024 to 2025. Way to go bobcats! 🐾

@ms_clore Nice! I haven't tried peppers yet, but I want to try them next semester. It's time for us to start harvesting!

Our HEART teachers used ozobots to tell about their journey as first year teachers. @BESTEM_HCS shared different strategies on how our teachers can use these robots for instruction in their classrooms. So cool! 🤖😍
