were selected based on their
participation in Advanced
Placement and other collegelevel courses and tests.
This is the second, straight
year that GKHS has received
the award.
Spanaway Lake High School graudates Monica Woo, Justin Rees, Jodelyn Domingo, Jabril Collins and Ngalula Okonda jump for joy about graduation. Over 1,300 Bethel area students walked in graduation ceremonies in mid-June. For a list of graduates, see pages 4-5.

New year brings exciting programs to Bethel
Every student is unique. So to
help each child learn, Bethel is
offering several new programs to
make sure students and families
have the right services to meet
their needs.
Bethel Elementary Learning
Academy (BELA)
In recent years, online schools
have grown in popularity. Now,
Bethel will be one of the first area
districts to offer an online option
for elementary students.
The Bethel Elementary Learning Academy (BELA) combines
home-based instruction and
online courses with face-to-face
help from certificated teachers.
“We are really excited,” said
assistant superintendent Roger
Samples. “This flexible program
will provide specialized learning plans to individual students
and families in the Bethel School
District.”
Because the curriculum used
by BELA closely aligns to district
and state standards, students are
taught exactly what they need
to learn. Courses include: math,
language arts, history, science, art
and music.
“Besides taking advantage of
the curriculum, students will
have access to other on-site ac-
tivities like orchestra, band and
PE,” said Samples.
To enroll, visit www.bela.bethelsd.org or call 253-683-6014.
Pierce County Skills Center
Nearly 700 students are taking
advantage of new summer programs through the Pierce County
Skills Center.
Now, enrollment is underway
for fall. Classes include: AP Environmental Science, Criminal
Justice, Digipen Game Design,
Fire Science and Emergency Services, Marine Technology, Medical Careers, PC Networking and
Hardware Repair, Pre-physical
Therapy and Sports Medicine,
Pre-veterinary Assistant and Robotics/Techtronics.
To sign up, go to www.pcskillscenter.org or call 253-683-5950.
Pay 2 Go Preschool
Families of preschool age children can take advantage of the
district’s new Pay 2 Go Preschool
program. Classes will be held at
Graham Elementary. Cost is $225/
month, plus a $40 registration fee.
The last day to enroll is July 30.

SHOUT OUTS: RETIREMENT EDITION

Definition of devotion
Bethel’s Retirees 2010
I would like to give a wellearned shout out to Sandy
Wright, who is retiring after
devoting 38 years to the teaching profession. When one looks
up the definition of devotion to
their students, one would find
a picture of Sandy. Sandy, your
commitment has had a positive
impact on so many student lives
over the years. Congratulations
on a well deserved retirement.

Smiling to your smile
I have known Dianna Main
for several years as a fellow
teacher of AP Language and
Composition and as a parent
of one of my former AP students. Her thoughtfulness and
positive attitude are displayed
in her continued work with the
Teacher of the Year celebrations, where I have seen her
work most recently during her
year off to test the retirement
waters. Even in taking the year
off, she has helped the district
and continued to support its
students and staff. When I think
of her, I think of her smile, and
as a result, I smile. I think many
others would agree with me on
that point. She will be missed.
Kelly Wheeler
Spanaway Lake High School
Proud to call you Mom
I am honored to be able to
write on behalf of my mother,
Barbara Shadle. I was able to
spend all of my elementary
school years with her as my
librarian. My mom is a wonderful woman, and I was proud
to admit I was her daughter at
school!
Now, years later, I have the
privilege of being a Bethel colleague and I am as proud as ever
to claim her as my mother. She
has the best work ethic I have
ever seen and constantly pushes
herself to achieve more and be
the best. She has worked hard
for many years, and I am overjoyed she will now have time to
relax and travel the world!

Enjoy your retirement
I have known Donna Pratt
for almost 25 years. She is one
of the most caring, genuine
and positive people you could
ever meet. She always shows
respect and love to the children
and, in return, they absolutely
adore her. I know she will miss
everyone, but I also know she
now will be able to enjoy the
rest and freedom of retirement.
Have fun camping and enjoying
your travels. Bethel is losing a
wonderful employee, but I will
always have my great memories
of our years together.

Holly Johnson, Donna Pratt and Catherine Flick hold quilts made by a fellow Centennial Elementary staff
member Cheryl Seidelman. The ladies received the autographed quilts at their joint retirement reception.
Irreplaceable experience
Linda Green has been the
speech therapist for my program for the past four years.
When my program moved
from Spanaway Elementary to
Thompson three years ago, I
requested that she continue to
provide services for my students. She has irreplaceable
experience and knowledge and
a passion for helping – not only
children, but all people. She
makes learning communication skills fun for kids, and is
a phenomenal communicator to teachers to help further
strengthen students’ areas of
deficit in communication and
articulation.
Corinne Panchot
Thompson Elementary
A wonderful mentor
Dolores Dippolito is one of
the kindest and smartest teachers I know. She was, and is, a
wonderful mentor, and I don’t
think I would have survived my
first few years without her help!
Dee has been a wealth of knowledge, and I am going to miss
her. Blessings to you, Dee!
Jessica Waldorf
Spanaway Elementary
Going the extra mile
Barbara Davis is a wonderful
and helpful library clerk for staff
and students alike. She knows
our wants and needs and takes
care of us even before we ask.
We are happy for Barbara, but
extremely sad for us. She is a
caring person who has watched
over our staff, students, and
library materials for many years
with a loving heart and a willingness to go the extra mile.

Librarian ‘family’
Holly Johnson has been a valued member of the Bethel staff
and the librarian “family.” She
will be missed, but after many
years of dedicated service, she
has certainly earned an opportunity to seek new adventures.
Happy retirement, Holly.

Making moments better
Helen Carpenter has been a
great joy in my working life. I
have enjoyed popping into her
room after school (she’s ALWAYS
there). She has proven beneficial in those little reminders that
I often need. She has a cheerful
attitude, upbeat humor, open
mind, and especially a high
regard toward the education
and welfare of all of Naches
Trail students. She makes every
moment better. Time spent in
Helen’s presence, be it lunch,
staff meetings, and even LID, is
simply time well spent! Helen
is simply a wonderful human
being and educator. I have benefited greatly by her presence
here at Naches Trail.

To a spectacular teacher
I would like to send a shout
out to Marilyn Walny. She is a
spectacular teacher who will be
greatly missed. She went out of
her way to get my son back on
track, coming in early and tutoring him on the side to help him
catch up. She is a very caring
person with a positive attitude,
always there to go the extra
mile for each and every student, helping them to achieve
greatness by believing in them
and helping them to believe in
themselves.
Sherri Nelson
Parent/Thompson staff member
Exploring curiosity
Vera Fair has inspired me to
fully understand and appreciate how students learn through
open, ongoing questioning and
exploring their curiosity to its
fullest. She is a wonder with
science instruction and offers
an interesting point of view on
subject matter and conversation. She is an “outside of the
box” thinker, and I’m thrilled to
have her return as a volunteer
to my classroom next year. The
students and I will learn a great
deal during her return. Vera
taught me how to write grants
and I believe she was the reason
I won a $7,000 LeMay grant
many years ago. I will always be
grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Vera.

A welcoming person
Nancy Lamas was in charge of
the LAP department at Graham
Elementary, in which I was a
para. She was so welcoming and
such an awesome person as a
boss. Her patience with students
and staff was great. I credit her
for helping me have a more
positive relationship with
co-workers and, of course,
the students. My daughter
was in LAP for one year (she
is 21 now), and Nancy still
asks about her. Nancy is a
great person and she will be
missed greatly. Happy retirement, Nancy!
Cheryl Farren
Graham-Kapowsin High School
Making the bus fun
Trudy Stowe is such a wonderful person. My children
would ride the bus from Elk
Plain to Frontier and transfer
to Trudy’s bus. Her next run
was to Graham Elementary
where I worked at that time.
My kids just loved her. They
never complained about riding the bus – ever!
Donna Mounts
Bethel High School
To the three of you
To Donna Pratt, Holly
Johnson and Catherine
Flick: Thank you all for your
dedication, words of wisdom
and being such fabulous
co-workers! We wish you the
best and you will be greatly
missed. From all of us in the
Ladybug Room.
Sherri Johns
Centennial Elementary
Thank you all
Nancy Tengesdal, Kris
O’Malley and Bill O’Malley
helped make my transition to
junior high much easier than
it would have been without
their help. I would like to
especially thank Bill O’Malley
for guiding me on how to
help teenagers succeed in
the junior high world. I will
carry this wisdom with me
throughout my profession,
and if I am lucky, I will pass it
on to new teachers.
You all will be missed!
