On Thursday, the student body of Bethel Local Schools gathered in the gravel lot beside the high school to break ground on the new addition. “Let the construction begin!” Superintendent Ginny Potter declared. After the dirt was ceremonially shoveled, students lined up to mark the border of the new addition. Students of all ages participated in the ceremony, which was held during school hours so that they could be involved. The $22M project includes major site improvements and high school addition.
