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.

Congratulations!
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.

FCCLA October Events - Bement High School
FCCLA Hosts Mental Health Assembly for High School Students
Today, FCCLA proudly sponsored and organized a meaningful assembly for our high school students, featuring The Jamie Boone Project (est. 2024). Founded by the family of Jamie Boone, who lost his life to suicide at the age of 21, the project is committed to raising awareness about mental health and providing resources for those struggling with stress, anxiety, or crisis.
We were honored to welcome John and Anita Boone, who shared heartfelt, insightful information to help students better understand the importance of mental wellness and support. Their goal is to offer hope, comfort and direction, while advocating for the prevention of suicide and self-harm.
In addition, we were fortunate to have career speaker Karla Bradley join us. Drawing from her experiences in the healthcare field, she offered valuable advice on the skills and qualities students need to succeed—whether they're heading to college, a trade, or straight into the workforce.
Thank you to our guest speakers who made today’s event possible.
