🎉 Celebrating Our Change Makers! 🎉

Last night, nine #BedfordCountySchools were honored with the 2024–2025 RTI²-A+B Change Makers Award by the Tennessee Tiered Supports Center and the Tennessee Department of Education at the board meeting! 🏆

#Congratulations to: #BedfordCountyLearningAcademy, #CascadeMiddleSchool, #CascadeHighSchool, #CommunityElementarySchool, #CommunityMiddleSchool, #EakinElementarySchool, #HarrisMiddleSchool, #LearningWayElementarySchool and #ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool for their outstanding achievement!

These schools were recognized for work done in the 2024-25 school year, and continued in this school year, to strengthen academic and behavioral support, including implementing tiered interventions, conducting multiple student screenings and building strong #leadership teams, all to create a more supportive learning environment for every #student.

👏 #ThankYou to our amazing educators, staff and #students for making this possible! Together, we’re building a stronger, supportive learning environment for every student.

👟✨ BCS Stepped Up—and You Did Too! ✨👟

Recently, we partnered with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive to collect NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world, and because of your generosity, BCS collected an incredible 651 pairs! 👏✨

These shoes will support the Soles4Souls’ 4OPPORTUNITY program, which helps people in countries like Haiti, Honduras and parts of Africa create small businesses selling shoes and clothing to earn a living.

We are excited to partner with Soles4Souls, who has generously donated new, brand-name athletic shoes through their 4EVERYKID program, helping #BedfordCountySchools McKinney-Vento #students.

From our classrooms to communities across the globe, your kindness is making a real impact, one step at a time. 🌍👟#ThankYou, BCS, for stepping up and showing what it means to give back! ❤️
