Have you ever wanted to learn how to debate? Debate is not just yelling at your opponent, but rather using your words and research to back up your point of view/topic. Students in debate clubs learn how to debate by using specific strategies that debaters use to effectively win their cases. Students will examine/analyze several debates and hone in on what team or individual proved their point. We will offer two sections: A Middle School and a High School Debate Club. Middle School will meet on Mondays, while high school will meet on Tuesdays, each depending on interest. We will meet from 3:00-4:00, in room 1218. Students will need to make arrangements to be picked up afterward. The ultimate goal for our school would be to create a team that will compete against other schools in the area and, eventually, within the United States. This club will begin the week of November 13, 2023. #BethelLegacy

Happy Halloween from the Bethel High School and Middle School Food Service Department! #BethelLegacy
