It is with great pleasure and heartfelt enthusiasm that I extend my warmest congratulations to each and every one of you on the momentous occasion of Bethel Primary School’s 137th anniversary! What an extraordinary milestone and what a testament to the steadfast commitment to education that has defined this institution over the years.

In celebrating this remarkable journey, it is important to recognize the dedication of the entire Bethel Primary School family led by Chairman Kadian Ellis and members of the Board of Governors. We recognise as well, the outstanding academic staff of twenty-six teachers, one guidance counselor, and the institution’s principal, Mrs. Jasmin BeckfordJohnson, along with the administrative and ancillary staff whose tireless efforts contribute to the school’s success daily. Your pledge to nurturing young minds and fostering a conducive learning environment has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in the school’s rich legacy.

As we reflect on the accomplishments of the past 137 years, it is inspiring to witness the countless lives that have been positively impacted by Bethel Primary School. With a current student body of 650 eager learners, the school continues to be a beacon of education and empowerment in the community of Hopewell, Hanover.

The celebratory activities planned for this momentous occasion only serve to amplify the joy and pride that this anniversary brings. From special events to commemorative services, each activity symbolizes the collective spirit and resilience that defines Bethel Primary School.

To all those who have contributed to the success of Bethel Primary School, I extend my deepest gratitude.
