🐯❤️🩶 We're celebrating Tiger PRIDE!
We're excited to kick off our new #BethelTateTigerPRIDE Staff Shoutout series by recognizing Mrs. Ayers, a teacher at Bick Primary School!
Mrs. Ayers was nominated by a grateful parent who shared how she helped make her daughter's first preschool experience a positive one. From easing those first-day worries to helping her daughter grow in confidence and develop a love of school, Ms. Ayers has made a lasting impression on this family.
Congratulations, Mrs. Ayers! 🎉 Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our youngest Tigers and their families!

This week, we mourn his passing while also giving thanks for his remarkable life and legacy. His visitation and funeral service will be held at Bethel-Tate High School this Sunday, October 12.
As we remember Mr. Bick, we also celebrate the spirit of excellence he championed. The 2025 Homecoming Parade steps off from Bethel-Tate Middle School at 6 p.m., featuring a very special group of Grand Marshals - the Middle School staff!
Their dedication has earned the school its third consecutive 5-Star rating on the state report card. It’s a TREMENDOUS achievement and a reflection of their hard work and care for students.
What better way to honor both legacy and leadership than to have our outstanding educators lead the way tonight? 🎈
Join us along the parade route and under the Friday-night lights as we celebrate our community, our schools, and our Tiger Pride - past, present, and future. 🐯🖤❤️
