In the spirit of Thanksgiving, some of our families wanted to express how thankful they are for our headmasters, Richard & Marci Lewellen.
"We are so thankful for the way Richard and Marci love our children. They see our children as important and worth their time and energy. They are constantly blowing us away with their flexibility, humility, kindness, and willingness to serve their Bethel family. Josh and I have never met such a hard working and devoted couple. Richard and Marci we are so thankful for you both as individuals and as a couple. We are so thankful to be a part of your Bethel family and for the truly amazing example you both show us every day."
~ Josh and Mary Golden
"We are thankful that Bethel not only strives to teach our kids academically, but also work hard at investing in our kids eternally. It means so much to know they are coming alongside us to shepherd our children's hearts."
~ John & Gaitha Pennington
"I am thankful for a prophetic, praying staff and for students who love to love others!"
~ Rochelle Walker
“I am thankful for nice teachers. They are nice because they love us. If we are absent and there was homework, they will let us get through it without getting behind. Also Madeline prayed for me one time when someone hurt my feelings. Mr. Richard is funny and makes us laugh. Mrs. Marci is caring because whenever we are hurt she will stop what she is doing and have full attention on us.”
~ Emma Carleigh Scott
“I am thankful that Bethel helps us learn stuff. My favorite is history. Miss Anna helps me experience more stuff to learn. Mr. Richard makes me laugh and when I was in first grade and kindergarten he came out to our breaks and played with us. I liked that a lot. I like that Mrs. Marci comes out to break and helps kids. I fell on my head one day and she saw it and sent someone downstairs with me to get a band aid. And what I love about both of them is they got Bethel for little kids to learn there.”
~ Eli Scott
“We are so thankful for the way that the Lewellen’s love our kids and come alongside the parents to support our families. The way you guide the kids’ hearts through tough situations and care not only for their education but also their spiritual growth means more to us than you will ever know. We are thankful that you are our kids’ instructors but even more grateful that we get to call you friends as well.”
