- Lunch Bunch Book Club
 The Bethel Manor Lunch Bunch Club is
made of students who love books! All fourth and fifth graders are
invited to join. Each month students read one of two pre-selected
books. Those students who read the books and pass the book’s AR
test with an 80% or higher comprehension score meet during lunch to
discuss the books. Students also meet after school to design ways to
advertise the books so other students will read and enjoy them too.
Posters are made, book talks are planned, and book reviews are written.
