Not every student in our community has a stable place to call home. Fortunately, Bethel has a team of people working hard to make sure all students—even those experiencing homelessness—have access to the resources they need to succeed.

Cedarcrest is one of our older schools in the district. Built in 1982, the school is just under 88,000 square feet, which makes it a similar size to our more modern elementary schools.
Our Mission
Every member of the Thompson Elementary family believes that the academic potential of each student is unlimited. We refuse to accept the challenges that confront some students as excuses for poor learning. We know that one of the predictors of life success is educational success. Therefore, we are committed to creating a school that knows no limits to the academic success of each student. We also believe that every student can be well prepared for his or her future by being an outstanding citizen.
