Reach out to any Junior student or Mrs. Corum or Mrs. Clodfelter.
Tickets may be purchased with cash or by check (payable to Bement School).

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.
