A Note from Principal Dave Ksanznak

May 17, 2013

Dear Parents,

On Tuesday, May 21 residents of the Bethlehem Central School District will have the opportunity to vote on the 2013-14 school budget. The voting takes place in the upper gym of the Bethlehem Central High School from 7 a.m.-9 p.m. In addition to the budget, voters will select candidates to fill two seats on our BC Board of Education. The candidates in the order they appear on the ballot are:

Diane Giacone Stever
Christine E. Beck
Michael W. Cooper

You can find information about the budget and BOE candidates on our district website.

Residents won’t be the only ones voting at the school budget in Bethlehem. Elementary students will be entering voting books and using iPads to vote on the next snack to be added to the menu in their cafeterias. From 4-8 p.m. at the School Budget Vote at BCHS, elementary students will be voicing their opinions. Parents, don’t forget to bring your students along when you vote!

Our 4th and 5th grade Spring Concerts will be held this coming Thursday, May 23. Here is the schedule for the evening:

Thursday, May 23
7-7:30 p.m.  - Grade 4 Orchestra and Choir
8-9 p.m.  - Grade 5 Orchestra, Band and Choir

The students will also have the opportunity to perform at a school assembly. The 4th and 5th grade orchestra, 5th grade band and 4th grade choir will perform on Thursday, May 23 at 2:15 p.m. and our 5th grade choir will perform on Wednesday, May 29 at 2:15 p.m. Both programs will be held in our auditorium.

I would like to thank our fabulous music staff, Ms. Gen Vitale, Mr. Patrick O’Connell and Mrs. Lorraine Guyon for all of their efforts working with the students this year. Thanks also to our Hamagrael Bethlehem Music Association representatives, Michael Roach and Monica Roach, for their work as advocates for our children, community and programs.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely,

Dave Ksanznak
