Students from #ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool’s TAP II class, led by Ms. Melody Redd, and FCCLA hosted Bedford Be a Teacher Day at #SouthsideElementarySchool recently as part of FCCLA's National Be a Teacher Day.

📚 TAP II students read books about teaching, shared why they’re pursuing education and had Southside #students sign their event t-shirts to remember their semester together.

🍬 #FCCLA students organized teaching goodie bags for every #student.

👩‍🏫 Southside students dressed as their favorite teachers, and Ms. Crystal Hathcock's 5th grade class won the prize for most participation, all dressing as Coach Martin!

🙏 We want to send a special #ThankYou to Black and Blue Sports for donating TAP II shirts and Redd's Heating and Air for supporting the goodie bags and books.

🌟 Celebrating Exceptional Growth! 🌟

At their November school board meeting, #BedfordCountySchools recognized outstanding 1st and 2nd grade teachers whose students reached Level 4 and Level 5 growth on the Universal Reading Screener for the 2024–2025 school year! 📚✨

Each fall, #students take the Universal Reading Screener, which measures key literacy skills including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. They take it again in the spring, and the results highlight just how much students have grown.

These teachers have guided their students to remarkable growth, showing the power of dedication, effective instruction and a strong commitment to literacy success. #Congratulations to these exceptional educators! Their work is helping students become confident, capable readers every day.
