A total of 32 professionals and career speakers participated in today’s 8th–12th grade Career Fair, providing students with valuable insight into a wide range of career pathways. Students had the opportunity to attend three different breakout sessions based on their interests.
Career fields represented included agriculture, engineering, healthcare, creative media, automotive, cosmetology, skilled trades, business, and law enforcement.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all of the professionals who generously volunteered their time to share their experiences with our students. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Nelson, Guidance Counselor, for her outstanding efforts in organizing this event.

Bement 6th grade science students have been learning all about the earth. They were given the chance to build volcanoes for extra credit. Students were graded on accuracy and Volcano knowledge. As a bonus, the students were able to go outside today and erupt their volcanoes.

Lots of excitement was enjoyed by all.

The Bement Middle School Scholastic Bowl team had a busy, but wonderful, start to their season last week! They competed 3 nights in a row with 8 matches for the varsity and 7 matches for the junior varsity. Varsity finished the week with 3 wins and some very close losses, most by only one question! They have all demonstrated amazing knowledge, sportsmanship, and teamwork and have had lots of fun doing it! Thanks to the community's support of our calendar fundraiser and concession stands at games, they celebrated with team meals from Subway and at Mama T's! They head to Atwood for their final regular meet this Tuesday and to Sullivan for the conference tournament on Thursday!

Middle School students who qualified for 3rd Quarter Breakout spent the afternoon at Elevate Trampoline Park in Champaign. They had a great time!

Leilana Hood was our Friday announcement reader. She shared middle school and high school information, announced student birthdays for the upcoming week, presented the trivia question of the day, and led the Pledge of Allegiance. Great job, Leilana!

Congratulations to all of our students who competed in today’s KidWind Project Competition. The Bulldog Land Team will advance to National Competition in Madison, Wisconsin in May. Ms. Walker and Mrs. Block co-teach our middle school STEM class.

The third annual KidWind Project Competition was hosted by the Challenger Learning Center in partnership with Heartland's Career and Technical Education staff and area sponsors. The competition featured more than 100 students from 10 schools across Central Illinois. Throughout the day, teams tested small-scale wind turbines, participated in solar challenges, took part in question-and-answer sessions, and toured the electric vehicle lab.
