Earl Harris Elementary School

Today we celebrate our amazing Speech Pathologists! We are truly blessed at Earl Harris Elementary to have two of the very best—Mrs. Yeakley and Mrs. Bernhard! These incredible women work tirelessly with our children each and every day. Thank you both for all that you do for our students. We appreciate you so much!

Yearbooks will be distributed tomorrow!

STEAM Day in first grade was a blast! 🚀 We invented, engineered Rube Goldberg machines, built cozy homes for our class pets, and so much more! 🛠️🧠🐾

Mrs. Hanger’s first grade friends had a fin-tastic day at the 'beach'! 🏖️ They read books while lounging on their floats and even got to play in the sand! ☀️📚🩴

Today we’re giving a huge shoutout to our incredible cafeteria staff — the true superheroes behind the scenes! From early mornings to lunchtime rushes, they serve up more than just meals — they serve smiles, kindness, and care to every student. Thank you for everything you do! We appreciate you today and every day! #SchoolLunchHeroes

Welcome to Physicals and Final Forms for the 2025-2026 school year! Athletic and marching band physicals will be given at the middle school on Tuesday, May 6th. The cost for the physical is $20. Suggested times to keep lines shorter are: HS Girls: 5:00 pm MS Girls: 5:20 pm MS Boys: 5:45 pm HS Boys: 6:00 pm You must be checked in by 7:00 pm to make sure you are able to get a physical. We are aware there is an orchestra concert that evening. So if your student is involved in that make sure they are in line at 5:00 pm. You can pay with cash, a check (payable to BPS) or online. Here is the link to purchase online https://bit.ly/bethanytickets If you purchase online you will get to skip one portion of the line. The OSSAA changed the physical form for this year. The one attached (coaches should have sent home a hard copy) is the one we need for next year. Hard copies can also be picked up in the HS and MS office. If you will have all pages completed EXCEPT the physical exam page prior to arriving this will also speed up the process. We will have copies on physical night but that will take more time. If your student wears contacts or glasses, make sure they wear them to physicals. This could save you a trip to get a physical clearance later due to poor eyesight. This year we are also going to have a room set up with computers so that parents new to the process can create their Final Forms accounts. If you already have an account you can update it there that night too. We will also have an interpreter to assist with setting up and updating Final Forms and filling out the physical form for our non-English speakers. Here is the link to instructions to set up a Final Forms account if you do not have one: https://www.bethanyschools.com/o/activitiesathletics/page/bethanyfinal-forms If you already have an account login to your account and find the button that looks like the one below. Press that button before updating. image.png Also take photos of the 3 pages of the physical that you complete prior to getting the physical. At checkout this year we will have students take a photo of the physical examination page and also use an iPad to login into their Final Forms account and upload the entire physical. All incoming athletes and marching band members will have to have Final Forms completed and a current, cleared physical on file before practicing when the new season begins. This applies to next year's 7th-12th grade. If you have an incoming 6th grader sometimes they are allowed to participate in sports where we do not have enough participants. As of right now only MS softball has been approved to add 6th grade. Bethany Youth Football and Cheer you are welcome to get your physicals this night too. You will not need a Final Forms account, only the physical form. Any questions please email assistant athletic director Lisa Tackett at ltackett@bethanyschools.com

🐝 Mrs. Crooks' PreK students had a buzzing good time learning all about bees last week! They explored the life cycle of a bee, touched real honeycomb, tasted sweet local honey, and even got to see bees up close — safely, of course! 🍯🐝 It was a bee-utiful week full of learning, laughter, and lots of sweet memories! 💛

🌸🐣 Our Multilingual students had an egg-cellent time celebrating Easter this past week! A big thank-you to our amazing AP Spanish students who filled and hid eggs for our younger friends to enjoy during the hunt. It was a wonderful way to bring students together across languages and grades! 💬💛

🎨✨ Stars, Stripes, and So Much Imagination! ✨🎨 Mrs. Cook’s 2nd grade class has been diving into the red, white, and blue world of American history—learning all about the story behind the American flag 🇺🇸. But the fun didn’t stop there… Our young historians turned into flag designers! 🏴💡 Each student got to dream up and create their very own flag—complete with bold colors, cool symbols, and meaningful designs. From rainbow stripes to space unicorns (yes, really!), these flags show off the creativity and heart of our amazing students.

A Special Visit to Mrs. Boyd's Kindergarten Class Dr. Bellows and Mrs. Chavez joined Mrs. Boyd’s kindergarten class to share their very own puzzle pieces! The class has been working on a special project where each student creates a puzzle piece that represents who they are—highlighting their interests, families, and what makes them unique. Together, the pieces come together to form a beautiful picture that celebrates how we all fit together.
