EXCEPTIONAL CHILD'S WEEK
January 22nd-25th is Mt .Bethel's Exceptional Children's Awareness Week, and we will be celebrating our students with exceptionalities and the professionals who serve them.  

This year, we will be recognizing a teacher or support services professional who has gone above and beyond in helping every child, regardless of their needs, to be successful.  This teacher or professional should be one who helps children have an "I CAN" attitude and encourages them along the way.   If you would like to nominate a teacher or other professional, please click  HERE  to submit your nomination by January 24th.
