Mr. Snyder’s 8th grade history class visited Bryant Cottage today. It was a great visit.


Mrs. Leinard’s Sports & Entertainment Marketing class had an amazing experience on Tuesday at The Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater in Decatur, IL!
A huge thank you to Dustin Bradshaw and his team for giving us an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour and walking us through the business side of running such a unique venue.
The crowd favorite? Visiting the legendary Green Room, where performers leave their signatures on the wall. Our students loved spotting the names of artists who’ve rocked the Devon stage!
What an inspiring way to see sports & entertainment marketing in action!

Bement Middle School Science students created identical paper airplanes using 3 types of paper. They hypothesized which paper would fly the farthest. Students were able to go outside and test their hypothesis. The 6th grade class thought this was a great way to start a Monday.

Today, Mrs. Leinard’s Sports & Entertainment Marketing class had the privilege of hearing from Cerro Gordo graduate Sophie Ozier, General Manager of the Arkansas Travelers.
She shared her journey from internships with the St. Louis Blues and Fox Sports Midwest to entry-level positions and ultimately becoming GM of a Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. Sophie encouraged students to pursue their passions and reminded them that a career in sports marketing is possible—starting right here in our hometown.
