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.

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. Tina Anderson District Office Cathy Ausserer Graham Elementary Helen Carpenter Naches Trail Elementary Barbara Davis Clover Creek Elementary Dolores Dippolitio Pioneer Valley Elementary Jeff Poljak Clover Creek Elementary Vera Fair Rocky Ridge Elementary 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! Allison Meeks Frontier Jr. High 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. Catherine Flick Centennial Elementary James Gaglione Bethel High School Linda Green Spanaway Elementary Holly Johnson Centennial Elementary 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. Ruth Everett Mary Eastman Rocky Ridge Elementary Clover Creek Elementary 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. Vikki Nyborg Cedarcrest Jr. High B R I E F 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. Stu Winnie Naches Trail Elementary 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. Sarah Myers Rocky Ridge Elementary 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!
