Bethel students were able to raise $7,000 for the Scotty Fund during Kindness Week last week.  The Bethel-based organization provides financial and family support to children with life threatening illnesses.  The students also helped to fill the Brotherhood in Action Food Pantry, supplies for the shelter of the Women’s Center, and collected over 80 gift cards for Scotty Fund families in need.  At the an assembly Friday, Superintendent Dr Christine Carver spoke to the students about how individuals and groups can demonstrate kindness in grand gestures, as the week demonstrated, and small gestures like sitting with a peer who is having lunch alone, make the world a better place.
