Recently, our #students were treated to an unforgettable experience thanks to Cooper Steel and their incredible Twelve12 Legacy program.
Through this program, high school students mentor elementary students, focusing on academic growth, character development and the values of hard work, kindness and integrity — making a real difference in our community. 🤝🌟
To celebrate, Cooper Steel hosted a generous luncheon sponsored by Rowdy Ranch for our high school students 🍽️ and welcomed the inspiring Inky Johnson to share his powerful message with our students. As Inky stated, "I always had people in my life who saw things in me I didn’t see in myself." 💫
The Twelve12 Legacy program gives students that same opportunity — to see their own potential and believe in themselves. 🌟Moments like this leave everyone full of motivation, encouragement and connection that lasts a lifetime.
We want to send a huge #ThankYou to Cooper Steel! 💛 Your dedication to supporting and uplifting our students is truly creating a full-circle impact that will last for generations to come. 🌍✨

All 4th graders in #BedfordCountySchools recently took a step back in time at the American Mule & Bluegrass Festival! 🎉
