Old, New, Borrowed and...Blue?


No, this isn’t about a wedding. Oddly enough, I believe this old adage suits the Parents Association, well, except for maybe the Blue part. I have to think about that.

The 2014-15 school year brings back some Old, oops, I mean returning, members of the Parents Council (the governing board of the Parents Association) and that means some continuity from last year. Especially good as we think about what went well and what……..didn’t. Was there anything?

Incoming freshmen mean New freshman parents have joined the Council and, hopefully, others will join the Association. After all, Association Dues (don’t be alarmed by the whopping $25.00 a year fee per family) help underwrite the cost of activities hosted by the Parents Association (ice cream social, Fall Fest events, study snacks during finals, etc.).

Borrowed ideas from last year are sure to help new and returning students feel supported and cared for by all of Bethel’s parent population. But, that doesn’t mean new ideas, like this blog instead of a newsletter, aren’t welcome. In fact, they are encouraged. Contact The Student Life Department and talk to Patsy.

Blue…… Awww, now I’ve got one. Don’t make us talk ‘til we’re Blue in the face about joining the Parents Association.  It’s for the students! Talk to Patsy Dirksen and she can fix you up.
