Muse Machine held their first in-school presentation last week, featuring the music stylings of Terrell X, an incredible human beatboxer! Terrell X worked with students to show them how songs can be made from scratch with just the use of the human body and voice. Students even worked together to recreate the opening of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean! #BethelLegacy

Students will stay home and will have an assignment for each class. Assignments will be given the preceding day or may be posted on Google Classroom. Teachers will be available during school hours to answer questions via email.
Buses will run from Bethel to the MVCTC; however, students who attend the CTC will be responsible for their transportation to and from Bethel.

What is included with lunch?
A School Plate Lunch is composed of 5 components (Protein, Grain, Dairy, Fruit, and Vegetable) Students will receive a main entrée (grain and protein), milk, fruits, and vegetables.
What is a Reimbursable Plate Lunch?
Students getting a Reimbursable Plate Lunch will be offered all 5 components, but only must take 3 components for it to qualify. For example, if a student elects to only take a chicken patty (entrée) and a fruit cup, this would qualify, as it fulfills the protein, grain (bun), and fruit components. While this does qualify, it is encouraged students take the full lunch offering, so they are full and fueled for the day.
What is the Fresh Creation Station?
High School students have the option Tuesday through Friday to purchase lunch at the Fresh Creation Station. The cost is $3.50. This station allows them to choose their protein and grain from the weekly theme, add toppings, and get something extra.
What are A La Carte Items?
A La Carte Items are offered, with a price range of $0.50-$2.00. A La Carte items include chips, muffins, cookies, pop tarts, goldfish crackers, ice cream, etc. These items are NOT included in the price of a plate lunch. Parents may limit and restrict these options on Payschools Central by clicking the “meal restrictions” button.
What are Control Options?
Parents are able to set daily spend limits on their students via Payschools Central. If you need help with Payschools Central, you can contact Payschools at 877-393-6628.
Who to Contact?
If you have any questions, please contact one of our food service managers! Hope McKenzie for Elementary Students at mckenzieh@blsk12.org, and Dawnyel Durham for MS & HS students at durhamd@blsk12.org.
