Last week, Bement Middle School Student Council helped spread awareness about drug prevention during Red Ribbon Week! Students passed out bracelets and candy and showed their support by wearing red on Thursday. Our Lifesavers also visited middle school classrooms to talk with students about the importance of making healthy, positive choices.
Students in Mrs. Corum's Foods 1 Class prepared Halloween displays for their 6th annual Halloween Wars competition. Students were required to decorate or carve a pumpkin and prepare two no-bake treats.
To vote for your favorite display, simply like your favorite photo. Votes will be combined with our in-person votes. All voting ends Sunday 11/1 at 5pm.
