🎄✨ Christmas Cheer is Continuing to Spread Across BCS!
This year, the holiday spirit isn’t just in the classrooms—it’s at the bus garage, too! We want to send a special #ThankYou to Trace Copeland for sharing the creativity and bringing a little extra joy to our district this season. ❤️
It’s small touches like this that remind us how much thought and care goes into making the season bright for everyone. We’re so grateful for all the ways our staff and #students help spread cheer throughout #BedfordCountySchools! 🎁

Thanks to the funds raised through last year’s Connected Community 5K, six BCS educators will be able to travel to a national conference for high-quality professional learning. The knowledge, strategies and inspiration they gain will come straight back to our classrooms—directly benefiting our #students and schools.
This is a powerful example of how a connected community invests in teachers, strengthens learning and supports #student success. #ThankYou for believing in our educators and our students!
