We are excited to announce the newest addition to our Bethany family. Mr. Brandon Nyberg will be stepping into the role of our first full-time Activities Director for the 2024-2025 school year. Mr. Nyberg currently resides in Seiling, Oklahoma, where he has served as their Athletic Director and Elementary Principal. Before that, he taught and coached basketball, softball, and golf. He had a career record of 487-221 with 4 State Tournament appearances as a basketball coach. As an athletic director at Seiling, his school won 10 state championships and 2 runner-up finishes in football, basketball, baseball, and track. We are excited to bring Mr. Nyberg’s reputation of success to the already established reputation of our Bethany fine arts and athletic programs.
As our Activities Director, Mr. Nyberg will be instrumental in supporting and enhancing our fine arts and athletic programs by fostering a culture of teamwork, sportsmanship, dedication, hard work, and excellence. Mr. Nyberg will begin his tenure in July. Around that time, we will host a gathering to allow Mr. Nyberg to share his vision for all our Bethany programs with the community. We would like to welcome Mr. Nyberg to Bethany!

This week we celebrated some very special women in our district- our school counselors! These ladies comfort the students that come through our doors with heavy hearts. They are encouragers. They give our students the tools they need for challenges they will inevitably face. We are grateful for each one of them!

Our high school girls' basketball team has made it to Washington D.C.! They will be participating in a tournament and exploring the city's sights. Have a blast, ladies!
"I have had a calling for many years to make our playgrounds more inclusive for kids with disabilities and being in this new role as assistant principal this year at the ECC building has made me put that into action! To date, we have received $85,000 donated between free concrete, basketball goals, and anonymous check donations. Over Christmas break, we had a basketball pad poured, along with a sidewalk which will be used as a trike path that goes around the entire playground. This will foster play amongst typical peers and those with disabilities AND eliminate muddy paths with wheelchairs. We have more money to raise to get it completed but we are getting there one step at at time!"
