Today's Prayer
Heavenly Father, as our students continue through Day 2 of final exams, we ask for Your continued guidance, strength, and peace. When stress and exhaustion begin to build, help our students remain calm, focused, and confident in the work they have put in throughout this school year. Remind them that perseverance, effort, and character matter far more than perfection. Give them clear minds to think, steady hearts to trust themselves, and the discipline to continue finishing strong. Help them support and encourage one another through this busy week and to always act with integrity in all that they do. We also thank You for our teachers, faculty, and staff who continue to guide and encourage our students each day with patience, care, and dedication. Lord, help all of us to remember that challenges often build resilience, toughness, and growth within us. May our students continue to work hard, stay positive, and trust in the gifts You have given them. Bless our Bethlehem family throughout finals week and guide us safely toward the completion of another successful school year. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Announcements:
Happy birthday today to Lamia Smith and our very own Mrs. Kayla Drake! We hope you have a great birthday!!
Senior Yearbook Photos- Senior Portraits will be scheduled and taken next school year when school is in session and not during the summer. Information about this will be shared once school starts for the 26-27 school year.
Battle of the Schools - We will not be participating in the Battle of the Schools tonight. With final exams and the seniors already graduating, we did not have enough participation to attend.
My School Bucks - Parents, please make sure you turn off autopay on your child’s account after the last day of school so it doesn’t charge you over the summer.
Seniors, if you have photos of you presenting your rose to a loved one, please email them to Mrs. Downs at [email protected]. We would love to include some of these special moments in the yearbook.
