Mrs. Block's 7th grade Life Science class took advantage of Friday's nice weather.
The class was divided into two teams. Teams were challenged to create a detailed animal cell using available items.
Students were given 5 minutes to plan, 20 minutes to build and 5 minutes to present their cell and cell structures.
The teams competed valiantly and after double overtime, the result was a tie and both teams won!

Over 55 FCCLA members participated in their annual Foods for Families event by collecting food donations for the Bement Food Pantry. Through their efforts, members helped support local families in need while promoting community service and leadership. After the collection, students celebrated their hard work with a fun pizza gathering.

Special thanks to the many volunteers of the Bement Food Pantry for their help in organizing the event and to the communities of Bement, Ivesdale, and Milmine for your generous donations to such a great cause.

Reminder: Bement CUSD 5 students will be dismissed at noon on Friday, October 31.

Art Studio & Art Club students had a great time with hands-on projects in the dark room at Parkland and in the Metals studio. We also got to hear from one of the artists, Amanda Smith, in the current group show at Giertz Gallery.

Several of our junior and senior students had a great time at the Deland-Weldon Career Fair today! They met with employers from a range of trades and learned about the many opportunities available after graduation.

Bement 7th grade Science students enjoyed a successful venture to collect specimens for their insect collection project. Students are learning and using scientific nomenclature to identify each of their finds.
