The NHS collaborated with the Bethel American Legion, Lions Club, and VFW on the project, and over the summer, the district’s maintenance team finalized it. Thank you to all who contributed and participated in making the Honor Wall a reality.

Bethel-Tate Schools Director of Operations Charles Napier shared that the business office completed a significant project this summer with the installation of a new chiller at Ebon Hill Intermediate School. The chiller replaces an aged-out piece of equipment that’s been on the replacement list for a few years but was on hold due to limited funds. The new system will not only be more reliable, but it’s also energy efficient which will result in savings for the district.

Please join us in celebrating the Bethel-Tate Middle School Band’s selection for participation in the 2024 Capital Conference Student Achievement Fair. Band Director Paul Glader entered an audition clip of the BTMS Band for the prestigious performance opportunity. The Student Achievement Fair is a great occasion to showcase the talents of the many musicians who comprise the BTMS band, Mr. Glader said. “Among the awards we have received recently, this one sticks out particularly because it is based on our performance ability level unlike some of the other awards that recognize other aspects of our program,” Mr. Glader continued. “We were selected to represent the OSBA Southwest Ohio region and I believe Southwest Ohio has some of the finest programs in the entire state, so this is a great honor.” In a letter announcing the band’s acceptance as a performance group in the 2024 Student Achievement Fair, Amanda Husmann, Administrative Associate of Board Management Services for the OSBA, wrote, “The Middle School Band group is fantastic, and we’d be honored to have them join in representing the OSBA Southwest Region!” The Student Achievement Fair is part of the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) Capital Conference held each November. The fair highlights outstanding student performing groups and fresh, innovative initiatives from school districts across the state. The fair will be held during the OSBA Capital Conference in November.

Bethel-Tate High School's Theater Department is gearing up for a spectacular fall event that promises to captivate hearts - the presentation of an original play authored by BTHS senior Nicholas Burns. Showtimes are: November 10th and 11th at 6 p.m. and November 12th at 5 p.m. There will be special encore performances December 15th and 16th at 6 p.m. and December 17th at 5 p.m. For tickets, follow this link to TICKETS - https://events.ticketspicket.com/agency/124c69d3-fd07-445d-b459-1f5edc12c548/events During his summer break, Nicholas penned his story that revolves around Bradan, a young college student who finds himself in a dilemma. Bradan, who also works as a journalist at a local news station, turns to a life of crime to cover his mother's mounting medical bills. The idea of writing a play germinated last May during a conversation between Nicholas and high school English teacher and Drama Club Advisor, Courtney Woodard. He proposed several story concepts, including comedy, romance, and even a touch of robbery. These ideas eventually converged into "Gaining Love; Wasting Time." Ms. Woodard was surprised when classes began this school year and Nicholas presented her with his completed script. She never doubted that he would finish the project, but didn’t anticipate it being ready for presentation this fall. Auditions were recently held, and the enthusiastic response from the students affirmed Nicholas's efforts. Audiences can anticipate laughter and poignant moments that tug at the heartstrings. This production boasts a cast and crew of about 25 talented students, including 12 actors. It's worth noting, Ms. Woodard said, that Bethel-Tate High School's Theater Department is student-centered. The students are passionate and committed to their craft. It’s also relatively new after an absence of several years. Ms. Woodard emphasized her admiration for the students' dedication, saying, "They put so much effort into every production. Their passion and energy levels are extraordinary, and I appreciate every single one of them." What sets "Gaining Love; Wasting Time" apart is its origin – it was crafted specifically for our stage by one of our very own students, she added. Nicholas invested substantial time and discipline over the summer months in crafting this play, juggling it alongside his work, karate, and marching band commitments. Now he’s looking forward to seeing his characters come to life on stage. It will be a highlight of his senior year. After high school, Nicholas hopes to pursue his other passion, digital music production, at Ohio University. Members of the community and theater buffs alike won’t want to miss the opportunity to be part of this theatrical experience.
