✨ Expanding Access. Strengthening Support. ✨
In partnership with Volunteer Behavioral Health, #BedfordCountySchools recently received a grant-funded donation of nine telehealth iPad carts and seven take-home iPads to support #student mental health.
This initiative helps remove barriers and connect more #students and families with critical mental health services because access to care should never stand in the way of success. 💙

👟✨ BCS Is Stepping Up! ✨👟
We’re partnering with #Soles4Souls to host a district-wide shoe drive!
From January 20 – February 28, we’ll be collecting NEW and GENTLY USED shoes to support people around the world. 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.
📍Shoe collection bins are in each of our schools and at the Central Office.
Let’s give back—one step at a time! 💙
Thank you for helping us support #students, families and communities around the world.
