👑✨ Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A Royal Celebration! ✨👑 Our kindergarteners have been on a truly royal adventure! 👸🤴 They’ve been learning all about kings and queens, what it means to be royal, and how royal families live—exploring everything from nonfiction facts and etiquette to beloved stories like Cinderella, The Princess and the Pea, and Old King Cole! 🎶📚 To wrap up this exciting unit, our gym was transformed into a magnificent royal ballroom 💃🕺✨ where our young royals danced, played, sang, and celebrated in true kingdom style. The smiles, laughter, and joy filled the room, and it was a terrifically royal time for all! 👑💖 What a magical way to bring learning to life—long live our kindergarten kings and queens! 👏✨

👟✨ BCS Is Stepping Up! ✨👟

We’re partnering with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive!

From January 20 – February 28, we’ll be collecting NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world. These shoes will support the Soles4Souls’ 4OPPORTUNITY program, which helps people in countries like Haiti, Honduras and parts of Africa create small businesses selling shoes and clothing to earn a living.

We are excited to partner with Soles4Souls, who has generously donated new, brand-name athletic shoes through their 4EVERYKID program, helping #BedfordCountySchools McKinney-Vento students.

📍Shoe collection bins are in each of our schools and at the Central Office.

Let’s give back—one step at a time! 💙

Thank you for helping us support #students, families and communities around the world.

🌙✨ Today Mr. Rhodes 5th grade students reached for the stars—well, the moon! 🌞➡️🌙 They explored how the moon doesn’t change shape, but appears to change as the sun’s light hits it from different angles. From new moon to full moon, our classroom was full of curiosity, great questions, and plenty of “aha!” moments. Science is out of this world! 🚀🌌
